Admissions & Records PhotosWithdrawals

W (Withdrawal) is not an automatic process. The student is responsible for officially withdrawing, through the Admissions and Records Office, to avoid receiving “F” or “NP” (no-pass) grades.

Upon entering Golden West College, the student assumes the responsibility of completing each course in which he/she is registered. A college student is expected to attend all sessions of the classes in which he/she is enrolled. An instructor may drop a student for excessive absences when the instructor determines that, due to absences, the student may not successfully complete the course. Students who miss the first meeting of the class may also be dropped. Students who are dropped by their instructors for missing the first class meeting or for excessive absences should verify the instructor drop with the Admissions Office in order to avoid grade penalties and to comply with critical drop dates as specified. After a student has been dropped from the class for unexcused absences, appeal for reinstatement will be considered only under extenuating circumstances.

When withdrawing from a class, students should be aware that the following policies apply:

Early Withdrawal

Classes will not appear on a transcript (a “W” will not be assigned) when a student officially withdraws during the first 4 weeks of full semester (16-week) fall or spring courses, during the first 2 weeks of 8-week courses, and 30% of all other length courses.

Other Withdrawals

A “W” will appear on a transcript for official withdrawals made between the first day of the 5th week and the last day of the 12th week for full semester (16-week) fall or spring courses, between the first day of the 3rd week and the last day of the 6th week of 8-week courses, and more than 30% and less than 75% in all other length courses.
