The student is personally responsible for withdrawing from enrollment. Students wishing to withdraw from a class must first meet with their instructor or an academic advisor to begin the withdrawal process. Students wishing to withdraw from school must do so through the Office of Admissions and Registrar in Kilgore or the KC-Longview office. Requests received after close-of-business will be processed the next business day. Students eligible to web register may withdraw from classes online through the end of Late Registration. Students who withdraw once the semester begins may be required to re-pay a portion of financial aid already received.
Students withdrawing prior to the first day of the semester and through the census date of the semester will receive no grade. After that time, the student receives a grade of “W” until the withdrawal deadline has passed. Flex class withdrawal dates vary (see flex withdrawal/refund schedule below. The ultimate responsibility for withdrawing is on the student. Students who fail to officially withdraw may receive a grade of “F” for the semester and may have to re-pay financial aid.
