Withdrawal Policy

Official Withdrawals

Through the posted withdraw deadline on the Academic Calendar, 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 the Registration card in their me@ChattTech Student Portal.  For cohort programs, where self service withdraw is not an option, students should contact their instructor to submit the withdraw request on the student’s behalf. Following the policy that is set by the Technical College System of Georgia, withdrawals that occur after the add/drop period of the semester receive no refund. No charges are reduced for withdrawals and no refunds are issued.

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 Students who truly earned Fs that were not due to ceasing attendance are not considered to have withdrawn; therefore, those students’ aid is not recalculated for the class(es) in question.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 Chattahoochee Tech Student Consumer Information Page. 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.

Military Withdrawals

In the event of a military emergency, whereby a student who is in the Armed Services, the National Guard, or an Armed Forces reserve is activated or otherwise called to duty and, as a result, may no longer attend class(es), Chattahoochee Technical College is authorized to allow the student to elect the following option. Documentation of such military service must be provided to the Office of the Registrar by an appropriate military official.

1. The student may choose to withdraw from Chatt Tech for the semester. With this option, the student’s record will reflect no enrollment for the semester. No grades of any type will appear on the student’s transcript, and all tuition and fees shall be refunded, excluding the application fee. Title IV funds shall be returned in accordance with federal regulations.
