[Oacrao-l] Administrative Withdrawal Policy

[Paul Patrick]

Hi, Janet.   Here’s UCO’s policy from the faculty handbook.   We process AW’s with a 75% refund.  Because of that, we have the faculty report the AW as a midterm grade, then staff in Admissions actually do the withdrawal.

And the AW is faculty initiated, not student initiated.    If an AW is recorded, and then the student decides to show up, we leave it up to the instructor as to whether or not to reenroll the student.    Complications arise when the student has been refunded the 75% or Financial Aid grabs it, and then we reenroll the student and now they’re charged the 75% again.

AW Administrative Withdrawal - assigned by faculty to a student who never attended
a class and who never officially withdrew. The AW grade cannot be assigned until
after the last day to drop a course with 100% refund but no later than the last day
to officially withdraw from a class for the semester.
Examples of attendance in general, provided by the U.S. Department of Education are as
follows: physical class attendance; submission of an academic assignment; examination,
interactive tutorial, or computer-assisted instruction; study group interaction assigned for
the course; participation in an on-line discussion, and initiation of contact with instructor to
ask question about academic matters. Simply logging into a course does not constitute attendance.

Hello!

We are reviewing our Administrative Withdrawal policy and I'd like to know what other OK schools are doing.

Does your school have an AW policy and if so, would you be willing to share the details?

Thanks!
Janet
