Withdrawals
Withdrawal Policy
Students are responsible for withdrawing themselves from any or all of their classes through Banner Web. Students who do not withdraw from classes will be assigned the grade(s) earned. No withdrawals will be processed after the ‘W’ period ends. The ‘W’ period runs through the end of the twelfth (12th) week of fall and spring semesters, and the eighth (8th) week of the summer semester. Students may withdraw from any, or all, courses from their schedule through that period.
Any student receiving federal student aid (Pell, SEOG, etc.) who completely withdraws from all classes during a given period of enrollment, and completes less than 60% of the term, may be required to return funds to Augusta Technical College and/or the US Department of Education.
**Important Note: The date in which you withdraw from all coursework will be the date utilized to calculate your percentage of course completion.**
Unofficial Withdrawals
A student who earns all Fs in a given term or a combination of Fs and Ws (meaning the student withdrew from a class) may be considered an ‘unofficial withdrawal’. Unofficial withdrawals are those who cease attending class(es). Faculty must enter a last date of attendance for students who earn a grade of ‘F’ for the class. Once grades are submitted and faculty rosters are verified at the end of a term, unofficial withdrawals (those who earned the F due to ceasing participation) may be required to return funds to Augusta Technical College and/or the U.S. Department of Education. Students who truly earned Fs that were not due to ceasing attendance are not considered to have withdrawn; therefore, those students’ aid is not recalculated for the class(es) in question.
The institutional refund policy and federal aid refund policy (Return to Title IV) can be found in Financial Aid. We encourage you to be aware of these policies and how you are affected by them should you withdraw or otherwise cease attendance before a term concludes—officially or unofficially.
