WITHDRAWAL POLICY

Including directions on how to drop/withdraw from classes

The sole responsibility to officially withdraw from any class(es) or the College lies with the student. The effective date of withdrawal is the date the student notifies the college of the withdrawal. 

Students have the privilege of dropping a course(es) during the first three instructional days of each semester, through their BANNERWEB account.  This results in the drop removes the course from your permanent academic record and does not affect your financial aid.  

Please remember when dropping a course, any amount charged against student financial aid (PELL/Scholarships…etc.) in the bookstore will be owed back to the College. 

An outstanding balance consisting of these fees plus a returned check fee will still be owed to Atlanta Technical College. A “Business Office Hold” will be placed on the student’s record. Students with a Business Office Hold on their record will not be permitted to register for further coursework and/or receive financial aid.

The following criteria has been established for students who elect to withdraw after the third day of classes:

• Beginning the fourth day of the term and through 60% of the term, students can withdraw from classes via their BANNERWEB account. Students who elect to withdraw during this period will receive a grade of “W” on the official academic record and will not receive a refund of applicable tuition and fees. 
• After the “W” (or 60%) through the end of the term (last day of class), students can withdraw from classes via their BANNERWEB account. Students who elect to withdraw during this period will receive a grade of “F” on the official academic record and will not receive a refund of applicable tuition and fees.
• Students are prohibited from withdrawing from any class(es) during final exam week.

Students who choose to not withdraw from classes will be classified as abandoning the course. Abandoning a course instead of following official withdrawal procedures may result in a failing grade assigned by the instructor and financial aid adjustments to the student’s account, if applicable.
