Students intending to withdraw from the university must complete an honorable withdrawal form and have an exit interview with staff in the academic advising office. The following are policies regarding withdrawal from Saint Mary’s.
Students may withdraw from the university any time before the start of the final exam period with the
following stipulations:
- Students who withdraw within the last ten class days before the start of the final exam period will not be allowed to return to Saint Mary’s the following semester. Students wishing to return to the university may apply for readmission after one semester has elapsed.
- The permanent records of students who withdraw before the start of the final exam period will show grades of “W” for all courses in progress. Final grades for courses completed prior to withdrawal will remain on the student’s record.
- Students who withdraw within the last ten class days before the start of the final exam period in two consecutive semesters must appear before the academic standing committee before being readmitted for subsequent semesters.
Course Incompletion for Active Military Duty
Students called to active military duty prior to the completion of a semester have the following options. They must indicate in writing to the vice president for academic affairs, before departure, which option they choose.
- If the student is close to completion of the semester, he/she should consult with staff in the academic advising office. That office will assist the student in arranging for the completion of his/her course work with his/her instructors. The student would then be required to complete the remaining required course work upon his/her return to the university. The student's transcript would reflect a grade of “Incomplete.” If the student does not complete the course work within six (6) months of his/her return to the university, the grade of “Incomplete” would be changed to “W” (Withdraw). The student would then need to register and retake the course. If a student's circumstances change after his/her return from military services, the student should contact staff in the academic advising office. That office will work with the student in resolving completion of the course work.
- The student may request to withdraw/delete the course(s); the student will receive a full tuition refund. The withdrawn/deleted course(s) will not appear on the student's transcript. No academic or financial penalties are associated with withdrawn/deleted course(s) under these circumstances. The student may register and retake the course upon his/her return to the university.
