How to Withdraw

Withdrawal Process for Distance Learning Courses

A student who wishes or is asked to leave the University prior to the deadline during the semester shall complete and file official withdrawal forms. These forms may be obtained from the University Counseling and Testing Center located in Murphy Hall, room 108 (Withdrawal from the University) or the Office of the Registrar, 1st floor Dowdy Building (Dropping a course). They should be completed and submitted to the Office of the Registrar.

Note: Effective, February 14, 2007, Distance Learning students who are not in proximity of the University, may send a communication to the Center for Distance Learning at distance@ncat.edu or (336) 256-0357 (Fax), requesting to drop your distance learning course (s) or to be withdrawn from the University. Please include:

your Full Name,
Banner ID Number,
distance learning course(s),
daytime contact information,
last day of attendance,
and the reason for the withdrawal.

We will complete your form, secure all required signatures, and submit to the Registrar's Office. Students who are on-campus or within proximity of the University, should follow the same procedure for dropping and withdrawing on-campus courses.

Students with Financial Aid:

For students with financial aid, please contact your financial aid counselor at 336-334-7973 to see how this drop will affect your aid for upcoming semesters. To see who your financial aid counselor is, please click on this link: www.ncat.edu/%7efinaid and scroll to the bottom.

Students who withdraw from the University within 15 calendar days of the beginning of the final examination period for the semester shall receive a 'W' in all classes enrolled. Failure to execute and file these forms will result in a student incurring the penalty of receiving an 'F' for each course in which he or she was enrolled during the semester in question.

Readmission of Former Students

All students who withdraw from the University, voluntarily leave the University or are suspended must obtain a permit to register before resuming their studies at the University.

The request for a permit must be received by the Office of the Registrar at least thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of the semester in which the student plans to register. When requesting a permit, the student should fill out a readmission application located in the Office of the Registrar.

Before a student who voluntarily leaves or withdraws is readmitted, his/her academic record is reviewed. If the student did not attain the minimum academic performance level for the number of semesters enrolled at the University, the request for readmission may be denied. Former students who have been dismissed from the University for failure to meet the scholastic eligibility requirements may appeal to the Committee on Admissions and Retention for a review of their case. The appeal should be addressed to the Committee in care of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.

The person should not present him or herself for re-enrollment until he or she has received a reply from the Committee. Appeals should reach the committee at least sixty (60) days prior to the beginning of the term in which the person expects to register. Former students whose attendance has been interrupted by the University for disciplinary reasons must apply to the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs for a review of their case for possible readmission.
