ATC Withdrawal Procedure

Official Withdrawals-Non Attendance Taking Courses

Each semester, students' class schedules become official upon payment of required tuition and fees (either by the student or by the award of financial aid). Students who drop a course during the drop/add period will be removed from the class roster, and the course will not be reflected on the student’s academic record. The College issues a 100% refund for classes dropped during the drop/add period of the term.

Thereafter, students may officially self-withdraw using the electronic “Course Withdrawal Form”, on the college’s website, from any or all classes on their schedule through the seventh calendar day of class day (before the final exam period) of each term or part of term for which the student is registered and receive a “W” for the class. The “W” grade is not computed in the student’s overall grade point average but does count as attempted hours for the term when determining financial aid eligibility. There is no refund of tuition and fees for class(es) which the student withdraws from after the drop/add period. The drop/add period and final class day for each term or part of term are indicated on the academic calendar available at Academic Calendar-Albany Technical College.

No withdrawals will be processed after the “W” period ends. Students who do not officially withdraw from classes will be assigned grades earned.

The College issues a 100% refund for classes dropped during the drop/add period of the term.

Thereafter, faculty may officially withdraw students via bannerweb, using the student’s last day of activity, once a student has missed more than 10% of the scheduled class time or if the student requests to be withdrawn from the course. Faculty have fourteen days from the student’s last day of activity to withdraw the student.

There is no refund of tuition and fees for class(es) which the faculty withdraws a student from after the drop/add period. The drop/add period and final class day for each term or part of term are indicated on the academic calendar available at Academic Calendar-Albany Technical College.

Students who are not officially withdrawn from classes will be assigned grades earned. No withdrawals will be processed after the “W” period ends.

Please note the list of attendance taking course can change throughout the semester due to accredation reviews.

Dual Enrollment-High School

Dualled enrolled high school students will need to contact their high school counselor in order to withdraw from any course(s). The high school counselor will be expected to contact an Albany Technical College High School Coordinator to process the withdrawal request. Active high school students will not be withdrawn without confirmation from their high school counselor.

Dual Enrollment-Dual Achievement Program (DAP)

Dual enrolled DAP students will need to contact their DAP guidance counselor in order to withdraw from any course(s). The DAP guidance counselor will be expected to have students complete the student course withdrawal process. Active DAP students will not be withdrawn without confirmation from their DAP guidance counselor.

Unofficial Withdrawals

Any student that receives all “Fs” or a combination of only “Fs” and “Ws” in a given term may be considered an “unofficial withdrawal.” Unofficial withdrawals are those students who simply cease participating in classes during the withdrawal period without officially self-withdrawing from class. Faculty must enter the last date of academic activity in class for students who earn an “F” as a final grade for the class. If the last date of academic activity is before the midpoint of the term or if the instructor cannot determine the last date of academic activity, the midpoint of the term (50%) will be used as the date of withdrawal.

Students receiving federal student aid (Pell, SEOG, etc.) who completely withdraw from all courses during a given period of enrollment and complete less than 60% of the term (based on the instructor’s determination of the last date of academic activity in class) may be required to return funds to Albany Technical College and/or the US Department of Education.

Last Date of Academically Related Participation Guidelines
The last date of academically related participation (LDA) is to appropriately assess the academic standards and financial eligibility for students. The LDA will be documented by the instructor/faculty with the blackboard report or a submitted in person assignment). An academically related activity is demonstrated through active participation (simply logging into an online class is not considered active participation). Academically related activities include, but are not limited to the following:
• Submitting a current academic assignment (online or in person)
• Completing an exam, an interactive tutorial, or computer-assisted instruction
• Participating in an online discussion within a course

Last Date of Academic Activity Appeal

If a student disagrees with the last date of academic activity submitted by an instructor, an appeal for reconsideration of the last date of academic activity (LDAA), along with the supporting documentation, must be submitted no later than the end of the first instructional week of the term immediately following the semester in which the LDAA is being contested. Consideration will not be given to any request submitted after the deadline.

Procedure for Submitting the Last Date of Academic Activity Appeal
Requests for reconsideration must be submitted in writing along with cause-specific supporting documentation to their program dean or Associate Vice President (AVP).

Acceptable forms of documentation include but are not limited to the following:
• Exams
• Dated computer-assisted instruction or assignments (e.g. Blackboard)
All documentation will be verified by the instructor, dean, and/or AVP. The student will be notified by student email of the status of their appeal when the completed file has been reviewed.
Please note that academic grievances are addressed through the Academic Grade Appeal Procedure.
