If a student wishes to officially withdraw from all course work at George Fox University either during or at the end of a semester/enrollment period, the student must notify the registrar’s office directly to initiate the withdrawal. An official withdrawal begins when a student submits a completed withdrawal form with required approvals to the registrar’s office.
The registrar's office is designated by the institution as the contact for all withdrawals: part-time, during-semester, or complete withdrawal. If a student wishes to officially withdraw from all course work at George Fox University either during or at the end of a semester/enrollment period, the student must notify the registrar's office directly to initiate the withdrawal. An official withdrawal begins when a student submits a completed form with all required approvals to the registrar's office. In most cases, an exit interview will also be required.
Generally the student will be awarded W grades for all courses affected by an official withdrawal if the withdrawal is completed by the end of the official withdrawal period. The “last date to withdraw” is the end of the 10th week of the semester (or 10/15ths of the class session for partial term courses). Failure to withdraw from a course prior to the last date to withdraw will result in a failing grade or posting of “earned grade” by the course instructor. Following the completion of the official process, the student is then considered to be officially withdrawn from the university.
The student is responsible to return all institutional property to the appropriate office or department, such as library books, keys, athletic equipment, lab equipment. Students are financially responsible for all items not returned. The student will be notified by Student Financial Services of financial obligations when the withdrawal calculation is completed. For a copy of or examples of the removal of institutional charges policy, please contact Student Financial Services.
The official withdrawal date is established by the registrar's office. Generally, the withdrawal date is the date the withdrawal form is completed and submitted to the registrar's office or the date established on the withdrawal form.
For during-semester withdrawals, students generally lose enrollment privileges five working days after the official withdrawal date established by the registrar's office. These services may include, but are not limited to, e-mail, library, student activities, food service, on-campus housing, health, and other related services associated with enrolled student status. The university reserves the right to remove privileges immediately upon official withdrawal notification.
If a student wishes to cancel his or her official withdrawal from the institution, that student must submit to the registrar's office, in writing, his or her intent to complete the current term of enrollment. This rescinds the student's notification of intent to withdraw.
If a student fails to follow the official withdrawal process, he or she will be considered to have unofficially withdrawn. If the student unofficially withdraws, the institution will generally use the 50 percent point of term or a documented earlier or later date of academic activity or attendance as the official withdrawal date. Generally, the student will be awarded F grades for all courses affected by an unofficial withdrawal.
An appeal of the established withdrawal date is to be submitted in writing to the registrar's office within 60 days from the established withdrawal date.
