Petitioning
Students seeking
exceptions to College policy must submit a petition form to the
Professional Technical Programs Office (MTB 101). Actions which are
decided by the Petition Committee include reinstatement after
suspension, financial aid appeals, late drops, late adds,
overloads, and late total withdrawals.
The Chair of
the Petition Committee will correspond with students in writing
following a decision by the committee. Further instructions can be
found on the form below.
Petition
Form
Withdrawing
|
The last day to withdraw from courses is
published on the instructional calendar located on the
Admission/Registrar website at www.lcsc.edu/registar. Withdrawal
after this date requires a petition appeal. Petitions for late
withdrawal from classes are decided by the Petition Committee.
The withdrawal deadline, whereby students earn a
W on their transcript, is the Thursday before advance registration. Students who wish to
withdraw from Summer classes, or classes that do not meet an entire
term, must do so before 64% of the entire days of the class have
expired. Dropping a class after this date requires a petition
appeal to the Petition Committee.
Students seeking to withdraw from a course after
the deadline (through the petition process), must secure a
signature from the faculty member who taught the course as well as
their Division Chair before forwarding the form to the Petition
Committee for a final decision. Neither LCSC faculty nor staff will
normally initiate the withdrawal of a student on the basis of
non-attendance. Failure to officially withdraw or change
enrollment will constitute sufficient cause to receive a grade of
“F” in the class.
Withdrawal
from a Single Course
Students withdrawing from one or more courses at
any time must initiate withdrawal by completing an add/drop form,
which may be obtained from the Office of Admission/Registrar. A
grade of “W” will be entered on the permanent transcript for each
course. Students who fail to complete the official withdrawal
process will be considered enrolled and will be graded accordingly.
Total
Withdrawal from All Semester Courses
The deadline for withdrawal from college is the
Thursday before advance registration for Fall and Spring
semesters and before 64% of the class days for summer courses, or
courses that are less than an entire term. Withdrawing from all
classes after this date requires a petition appeal. Students
withdrawing from all enrolled courses (total withdrawal from
college) at any time must initiate withdrawal by completing a Total
Withdrawal form, which may be obtained from the Office of
Admission/Registrar.
Students seeking to totally withdraw from all
courses after the deadline (through the petition process), must
secure signatures from EACH faculty member and each Division Chair,
from each class enrolled in before forwarding the petition form to
the Petition Committee. A grade of “W” will be entered on the
permanent transcript for each course. Students who fail to complete
the official withdrawal process will be considered enrolled and
will be graded accordingly. Neither LCSC faculty nor staff will
normally initiate the withdrawal of a student on the basis of
non-attendance unless the student is medically incapacitated or a
harm to him/herself or others.
A student may not totally withdraw from all
courses in a term if any of the classes in the respective term have
been graded. Students who have totally withdrawn from all courses
for a term, will not be allowed to register for any subsequent
classes in the same term.
Incapacitated Student Withdrawal
When a college official is made aware that a
currently enrolled student has become incapacitated due to injury
or illness and the Registrar receives written confirmation of such
from a medical doctor, the Registrar shall initiate a total
withdrawal on the student’s behalf.

process, email
