WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PROGRAM

Official notification to the school occurs when a student provides a written notice to the Registrar’s Office of his or her intent to withdraw from the program. The notice must include the expected last date of attendance and be signed and dated by the student.

The determined date of withdrawal is based on the date of the email or letter sent to the student identifying that the student has requested to be withdrawn from the Program or the date that the student has been withdrawn from the Program based on a review by the Academic Review Committee.

When official notification is not provided by the student, Standard College may administratively withdraw a student from the program. Unofficial withdrawal from the program may include the following circumstances:

1. if the student takes an approved leave of absence and fails to return to school by the scheduled date of return. The withdrawal date will be the last date of attendance as determined by the school from its attendance records.
2. if the student has not completed all requirements for graduation within the maximum time frame.
3. if the student has not met his/her financial obligations to the school.
4. if the student has been subject to a disciplinary matter that led to termination or suspension from the program.
5. if the student has missed seven consecutive days of class without pre-approved permission.
6. if the student has exceeded the number of permissible absences in the course.

For the student who unofficially withdraws from the program, the withdrawal date shall be the last date of documented attendance at an academically/clinically oriented activity in which the student participated.

A special rule applies that defines a withdrawal date for a student who withdraws due to circumstances beyond his or her control. This applies when (1) a student who would have provided official notification to the school was prevented from doing so due to those circumstances; and (2) a student withdrew due to circumstances beyond the student’s control and a second party provided notification of the student’s withdrawal on the student’s behalf. In this case, the withdrawal date is the date the school determines that the student ceased attendance because of the aforementioned applicable event.

Unofficially withdrawing from the program affects the student’s academic standing and may jeopardize the student’s eligibility to re-enter the program.

A student withdrawn from the program will not graduate with the current class enrolled in. The student may apply for re-admission to the program. (See re-admission policy)
