Withdrawal. Students who wish to withdraw from the college should consult their faculty adviser and one of the deans in the Office of Academic and Student Programs. After the interviews, the student must fill out a withdrawal form stating the reasons for withdrawal and submit the withdrawal form to the Office of Academic and Student Programs. Withdrawal by mail is possible only when illness precludes the possibility of interviews. Students who leave the college without officially withdrawing receive a grade of F in each incomplete course. Official withdrawal from the college with grades of W in all courses is not granted after the twelfth week of the term except in cases of extreme extenuating circumstances (such as serious illness) and with the approval of the Admissions and Scholastic Standing Committee. Students are responsible for knowing the procedures and deadlines for withdrawal from the college or from particular courses.
Readmission. Any matriculated student who withdraws or takes a leave of absence from college may apply for readmission to the Admissions and Scholastic Standing Committee at Cook College. Readmission customarily is approved for students who submit the application at least two weeks prior to the beginning of the term in which they wish to return. Readmission applications are available in the Office of Academic and Student Programs, Martin Hall, second floor.
For the college`s policy on readmission after dismissal for academic reasons, see Scholastic Standing later in this chapter.
Students who have graduated from Cook College may apply for readmission for one year to take additional undergraduate courses as nonmatriculated students in order to enhance employment opportunities, to complete requirements for academic certification, or to take courses that are required for application to a graduate program. Cook College students also may apply for readmission to complete a second Cook College bachelor`s degree program.
