When can faculty drop or withdrawal a student from a course?
Faculty must drop students for:
-Non-attendance during the Online Confirmation of Attendance period.
-During the Second Confirmation of Attendance Period when a student has stopped participating in academic activities and has excessive absences* (see definition below).
Faculty may drop students for excessive absences* anytime during the Drop/Withdrawal period by submitting a Change of Attendance Status form (below) to enroll@hacc.edu. Deadlines to drop a student can be found on the Important Dates -Student Services form found in the myHACC Document Search.
For reasons of academic dishonesty or misconduct, faculty may request a student be dropped from a course at any time by initiating the appropriate process outlined in the following SGPs:
-Academic dishonesty as per SGP 594 Policy and Handbook procedures.
-Disciplinary action as per SGP 592 Policy and Handbook procedures.
Faculty may initiate a drop for students in a health careers program who no longer meet the criteria to remain in the program. Faculty should submit the Change of Attendance Status form to enroll@hacc.edu.
In cooperation with the student, faculty may initiate a drop/add if it is determined that the student has been misplaced and needs to be in another course. Refer to the procedures under Faculty initiated drop/adds for Reasons of Placement in the SGP 601 Credit Enrollment, Withdrawal, Attendance, and Refunds.
*What is meant by "Excessive Absences"?
Per SGP 601, when unexcused absences or the failure to participate in academic activities exceed 15% of the total class hours that will take place throughout the semester and when the absences preclude the possibility of the student attaining the stated learning outcomes for the course.
Does the student need an instructor's signature to drop a course after the refund period has ended?
No, students can drop a course online or by submitting a completed Drop/Add/Withdrawal form without the instructor's signature to the Welcome Center for processing during and after the refund period up through the last day of the Drop/Withdrawal Period, which corresponds to approximately 70% of the part of the term.
If faculty are not signing the form, how does a grade get assigned?
The student will automatically receive a “W” status for the course.
Can faculty assign a withdrawal grade of an “F”?
Yes, but only in the case of documented academic dishonesty. Faculty will be provided a form to initiate a change of withdrawal status to an F grade. The form must be submitted within 7 days of receiving a student’s request to drop a course.
Please complete the COGNITO form below to submit a Change of Attendance for your student.
