Withdrawal and "No Show" Policies
Students withdrawing from courses or the college must complete an official withdrawal form, which may be obtained from the Student Success Center, academic advisor or by accessing the Withdrawal Request Form. Failure to do so may result in an academic or financial aid penalty. A student contemplating withdrawal should consult with his/her advisor.
A “No Show” is classified as a student who has registered for a course but never attended. A student identified as a “No Show” may not re-enter the course for the remainder of the quarter.
Withdrawal by a Student during the Refund Period
The student is responsible for submitting a completed Withdrawal Request Form to the Student Success Center before the first day of the quarter for one hundred percent (100%) refund eligibility or during the first three (3) business days of the quarter.
All out-of-pocket tuition and fees, excluding the application fee, are refunded if a student formally withdraws prior to the first day and during the first three business days of the quarter.
The official withdrawal date is when the completed form has been received and signed by an official Student Success representative. Once the Registrar or designee receives the withdrawal form, it will be signed, dated, and processed.
Students receiving federal or state financial aid are refunded unearned tuition, fees and other charges in accordance with the Department of Education federally mandated fair and equitable refund policy and the Georgia Student Finance Commission policy and standards.
The student must complete, sign, and submit the withdrawal form to the Student Success Center or academic advisor. The day the completed and signed form is received by an official Student Success representative will be the official date of withdrawal. Students withdrawing after the first three business days of the quarter are not eligible to recieve a refund.
Savannah Technical College calculates earned Title IV federal fund amounts based on attendance. A student receiving Title IV federal funds, such as the Pell Grant, and withdraws prior to attending sixty percent (60%) of the quarter, will only receive the earned amount.
A student who officially withdraws before midterm will receive a grade of "W" regardless of the grade average at the time of withdrawal.
A student who withdraws on or after midterm will receive a "WP" if passing at the time of withdrawal or “WF” if failing at the time of withdrawal. (The “WF” grade is calculated into the GPA, the “WP” is not.)
