COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL FROM SCHOOL

Students desiring to withdraw from Crichton College must complete a Complete Withdrawal Form and submit the form with the appropriate signatures to the Office of the Registrar. The effective date of the withdrawal is the date the petition for Withdrawal is processed in the Office of the Registrar.  Discontinuance of class attendance or notification to the instructors of intention to withdraw does not constitute an official withdrawal. Students who reside in campus housing must also secure clearance from the Office of Student Development.

The responsibility for withdrawal from the college rests with the student. It is recommended that you meet with your instructor(s) to determine if a withdrawal can be avoided before you complete the Withdrawal process. In some cases, alternative solutions may be found in order to avoid the decision to withdraw.

A student who officially cancels his/her enrollment or withdraws from Crichton College is charged a portion of tuition and fees based on the effective date of the Withdrawal.  Please refer to the Tuition Adjustment Chart for the percentage of tuition refund.
