SHRP POLICY

I.   PURPOSE

This policy describes conditions for withdrawal from a course. It covers both official withdrawal and unofficial withdrawal.

II.   ACCOUNTABILITY

The student is responsible for adhering to the following policy in consultation with the program director and enrollment services.

III.   POLICY

Official Withdrawal from a course

Students who officially withdraw from a course prior to completion of ¾ of the course will receive a grade of "W" on their transcripts. Students who do not withdraw by completion of the 12 th week of class of the course (in a 16 week semester) will be given a performance grade by the instructor for the course. Students must complete the "Withdrawal from course" form (http://shrp.umdnj.edu/registrar/regist_09_forms.htm), obtain approval from the program director and file the form with the Office of Enrollment Services/Student Records within this period. The official date of withdrawal is the date on which the completed form is filed at Enrollment Services - not the date of last attendance. Non-attendance or notification to the instructor/program director does not constitute formal withdrawal.

Unofficial Withdrawal from a course

A student will be considered to have withdrawn unofficially from a course or courses if he/she is absent for three consecutive web modules, didactic/clinical days or more without notification to the appropriate course instructor or program director.
