All students, credit and non-credit, who wish to withdraw from any course, need to officially withdraw. You can officially withdraw in three ways: (1) by logging into Student Planner and processing your withdrawal online, (2) by letter with your signature requesting the withdrawal either mailed or faxed to the Enrollment Center, N. O. Nelson Campus or Community Education Centers, (3) by course change form in person at the Enrollment Center (BA 1450) or at any of the Community Education Centers.
Non-credit students need to withdraw in accordance with the refund policies for Continuing Education and non-credit courses with a CE_ _ prefix. Withdrawal from non-credit courses after the refund period is not necessary. When withdrawing via Student Planner, use your ID and password.
Credit students need to officially withdraw by the course deadline dates. You can find the exact withdrawal dates for your courses at www.lc.edu. Click on Browse Our Classes to access Search for Courses and Course Sections, then enter your course information. Be aware that these deadlines are not related to refunds (See Refund Policy). You are encouraged to inform your instructor(s) of your intentions to withdraw. The withdrawal is official when the completed request is processed by the Enrollment Center, N. O. Nelson Campus, or Community Education Centers or submitted through Student Planner. If you do not officially withdraw from a course, you will receive a grade based on work completed - which may not be sufficient to give you a passing grade. An official withdrawal within the withdrawal period results in a grade of “W” on your transcript. However, a withdrawal prior to the conclusion of the tuition refund period results in no transcript record. Non-attendance does not constitute an official withdrawal. Requests to withdraw after the official withdrawal period will not be processed. Exceptions can be made only in hardship cases, described in writing to the Dean of Student Experience in the Enrollment Center.
If a student withdraws after the tuition refund period of a term and the student has incurred tuition and fee charges, institutional scholarships, external scholarships, state grants such as the Monetary Award Program (MAP) Grant, and state scholarships will be applied to charges incurred for the term accordingly unless restricted by the scholarship.
