Withdrawal Policy

Through the end of the ninth week of fall and spring semesters and through the fifth week of summer semester, a student may withdraw from any or all courses on his or her schedule. Students are responsible for withdrawing themselves from any or all of the classes through BannerWeb.  Following the policy that is set by the Technical College System of Georgia, withdrawals that occur after day 3 of the semester receive no refund. No charges are reduced for withdrawals that occur beginning day 4 of the semester.

No withdrawals will be processed after the ‘W’ period ends as defined on the academic calendar for the applicable term. Students who choose to not withdraw from classes will be assigned the grade(s) earned.

Any student receiving federal student aid (Pell, SEOG, etc.) who completely withdraws from all classes during a given period of enrollment and completes less than 60 percent of the term (based on the determination of last date of attendance) may be required to return funds to Chattahoochee Technical College and/or the U.S. Department of Education.

Unofficial Withdrawals

A student who earns all Fs in a given term or a combination of Fs and Ws (meaning the student withdrew from a class) may be considered an ‘unofficial withdrawal’. Unofficial withdrawals are those who simply cease attending class(es). Faculty must enter a last date of attendance for students who earn a grade of ‘F’ for the class. Once grades are submitted and faculty rosters are verified at the end of a term, unofficial withdrawals (those who earned the F due to ceasing attendance) may be required to return funds to Chattahoochee Technical College and/or the U.S. Department of Education. Students who truly earned Fs that were not due to ceasing attendance are not considered to have withdrawn; therefore, those students’ aid is not recalculated for the class(es) in question.

The institutional refund policy and federal aid refund policy (Return to Title IV) are found at http://www.chattahoocheetech.edu/student-consumer-information/. We encourage you to be aware of these policies and how you are affected by them should you withdraw or otherwise cease attendance before a term concludes—officially or unofficially.
