MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL

Students finding it necessary to withdraw (drop all courses) from the University should initiate the official withdrawal process by accessing PipelineMT.

1. According to the date of withdrawal, the student will receive no grades on the official transcript or will be assigned a "W" or "F" as determined by the instructor.
   

2. Appropriate offices will receive notice of the withdrawal for appropriate action.
   

3. The student's ID card will be inactivated and, if residing in University housing, the student must move out of the residence hall or apartment.
   

4. At a date one week prior to the beginning of final exams a student may not withdrawal from the University except for reasons of extenuating circumstances as shall be determined by the Withdrawal Coordinator. In such cases faculty members will receive a written request to approve the assignment of a "W".
   

5. Any student who leave the University for a term without officially withdrawing will receive grades of "F" for all courses attempted in that term.
   

6. Requests to withdrawal a term within one year of the end of that term will be considered only if the student presents acceptable documentation of extenuating circumstances to the Withdrawal Coordinator. In such cases, faculty members will receive a written request for approval to assign a "W".
   
   Requests received one year after the graduation date of the specific term in which the student was enrolled in the class(es) at issue will not be considered.
   

7. In cases of military deployment, the University will assist the student in completion of the term dependent upon the point in the semester when the student must report to active duty. In cases where deployment occurs early in the term and course requirements cannot reasonably be completed, the student will be withdrawn without reflection of grades and fees will be refunded to the student or the financial account as appropriate. In such instances, faculty members will receive notification of the withdrawal due to military deployment.
