Withdrawal Procedures, Refunds and Return of Aid

Requirements and Procedures of Official Withdrawal

It’s important to know the drop and 撤军 dates for all classes. 日期是 列在 academic calendar or in the 课程 syllabus.

What’s the difference between “drop” and “withdraw”? If you drop a class before the census date, you will receive a 学费 refund, and you will not lose College Opportunity Fund (COF) credits. You can withdraw between the census and 撤军 dates. 它不会 affect your grade point average. However, you will not get a refund and you will lose 咖啡学分.

A student who earns a grade of D, F or U may repeat the 课程 once for the purpose of improving the grade point average (GPA). The highest grade earned is entered on the transcript and will be counted in calculating the cumulative grade point average. Duplicate credit is not granted for repeating a 课程.

它是 the student’s responsibility to drop or withdraw from classes if they stop attending. You can withdraw from 课程s for the semester you are enrolled in on the student 门户网站. Look at your detailed class schedule available on the Student tab of your Trinidad State Portal for drop and withdraw deadlines specific to each class. 它是 recommended that you speak with an 顾问 prior to dropping or withdrawing from a 课程. 它是 important to check with the business and financial aid offices regarding any outstanding balances and/or financial consequences.

If you are an online student, please contact the following:
Bernadine DeGarbo 719-846-5621
Mathilda Westerman 719-589-7026
Or you can contact your 顾问.

If you are on 校园 and wish to withdraw, you can do so by completing, signing, and submitting a Withdrawal form at the 招生 and Records Office on your appropriate 校园.

If a student decides to withdraw from a class after the census date, but before the last 20% of the class, and has a passing grade, the grade will be recorded as “W”. A “W” is not counted in computing grade point averages. If a student withdraws during the last 20% of the class, a regular grade will be assigned that does not count in computing grade point averages. Requests for exception to this procedure may be made to the appropriate dean.

Consequences of Withdrawing

Federal financial aid funds may not cover unpaid institutional 指控 due to a student 撤军. Therefore, you may still owe funds to Trinidad State to cover unpaid institutional 指控. This includes Title IV program funds that Trinidad State is required to return on your behalf.

You will not be able to register for future terms or obtain transcripts until your balance is paid in full. Failure to pay the balance in full within 45 days may result in your account being referred to Enterprise Recovery System (ERS). In addition, you may be placed on an ineligible status for financial aid. Refer to Trinidad State College’s the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy at http://www.cccs.edu/sp-4-20c-return-of-title-iv-funds/.
