Policies
Withdrawal from Specific Courses Policy:
The prescribed time limits are for full-semester classes. Time limits for classes which meet fewer than sixteen (16) weeks are adjusted accordingly. Please refer to your individual course syllabus for more information.
Students may be officially withdrawn from specific courses in the following ways:
- Through the 7th week, a student may initiate an official withdrawal from any course by submitting a course withdrawal form with the required signatures to the Office of Admissions and Records in accordance with the published deadlines. A grade of W will be assigned.
- After the 7th week, a student may initiate a withdrawal. The faculty member will sign the form and assign a grade of W or Y. The form is then to be returned to the Office of Admissions and Records. (See the college academic calendar for student deadline date.)
- A faculty member has the option of withdrawing a student who has accumulated unofficial absences in excess of the number of times a class meets per week. Students withdrawn for excessive absences may be reinstated only with the approval of the faculty member. A grade of W will be assigned through the 7th week. After the 7th week, a grade of W or Y will be assigned. Faculty members electing to withdraw students must file the withdrawal form, including the last date of attendance, with the Office of Admissions and Records.
Failure to file an official withdrawal form within the published deadlines may result in failing grades and responsibility for course tuition and fees.
Please refer to the current SCC Catalog for a complete description of the policies and procedures for withdrawing from a class. You may also contact Admission and Records for clarification. 
Testing
Should your course require onsite testing, all onsite testing is conducted on campus at the SCC Open Computer Lab. Check their web site for the days and times they are open for testing as they vary from semester to semester.
No appointment is necessary, but you will need to show your picture ID.
The Open Computer Lab is located at BU133W. The lab is in the "BU" building near parking lot "E" and "G". For a map of the SCC campus, click here.
You should always refer to your instructor for detailed information regarding exams. |
