A student in good standing may be granted a Leave of Absence for a maximum period of one semester. Requests for a Leave of Absence must be submitted in writing prior to the semester for which leave is desired. Forms for requesting a Leave of Absence may be obtained from the Office of Student Services or Bachelor’s Program Office.

COURSE WITHDRAWAL/ CHANGE OF PROGRAM

　　Students who wish to withdraw from a course must do so by the date indicated in the Academic Calendar (available in the Academic Office, Student Services Office, and the Office of the Registrar). Withdrawal forms must be completed in the Student Services Office or Bachelor’s Program Office. Withdrawal from a course after the announced final withdrawal date, without formal permission, automatically merits a grade of F. Withdrawal from a course(s) which results in less than full-time status during the add/drop period, (week 1 and 2) will affect the student’s enrollment status and financial aid.

WITHDRAWAL FROM THE COLLEGE

　　A student who leaves the college during any semester must complete a withdrawal form, available in the Student Services Office and the Bachelor’s Program Office, or officially notify the college. Students who withdraw from the college after the twelfth week of the semester will receive grades submitted by the faculty. Students who have withdrawn and who wish to return to the college in a subsequent semester must complete an application for re-admission. Students who do not attend the Spring semester are not required to complete an application for re-admission.

ADMINISTRATIVE WITHDRAWAL

　　Students may be administratively withdrawn from a course if it is determined that the student is failing to comply with course and college requirements.

READMISSION

　　Readmission is initiated in the Student Services or Bachelor’s Program Office. Eligibility is determined through an evaluation of the student’s prior academic performance and potential for success.

ACADEMIC WAIVER

　　Monroe College recognizes it may be necessary to grant students a waiver of academic requirements. The appropriate academic official must approve all academic waivers.

PART-TIME STUDY

　　Any semester in which a student takes less than 12-cred-its or equivalent hours will be considered a part-time semester. Classes taken during a part-time semester will count as credits attempted as long as they meet the above-mentioned criteria. All semesters in which a student is enrolled as a part-time student will count as one-half a semester for the purposes of moving a student forward on the standards of progress chart. Any time a student has a one-half semester completed (i.e. 2.5, 3.5, etc.), the student will be held to the lower semester requirements.
