Academic Policies and Procedures - All Campuses

Registration

Withdrawal from Courses

Students may withdraw from a course before the end of the third week of a semester or at the end of the first week of a
term without any notation appearing on the academic record. Students withdrawing after the end of the third and before the
end of the 10th week of a semester, or after the end of the first week and before the end of the third week of a term, will receive
a withdrawal designation (W) on the Linfield transcript. Students may not withdraw from a course after the end of the 10th week
of a semester or after the end of the third week of a term. Exceptions will be noted in the academic calendar appropriate to the
student’s campus.

Leave of Absence from Linfield

Students have the option of taking an approved Leave of Absence from Linfield for a specified period of time. Students
wishing to take a leave of absence should pick up the form in the Registrar/Registration Records Office, fill it out and obtain
the specified signatures listed on the document. For a leave of absence taken during a semester, the date the form arrives in the
Registrar/Registration Records Office determines the start date of the leave. (All policies outlined in the section “Withdrawal from
Linfield” apply to a leave of absence.)

Withdrawal from Linfield

Students may voluntarily withdraw in good standing from the college at any time if there are no disciplinary actions pending
against them and if their financial obligations have been satisfied. The withdrawal (W) designation will be posted on the Linfield transcript
based on Academic Calendar registration policies as follows:

  • When a student withdraws from the college prior to the last day to withdraw and not have course appear on transcript, no course will be posted on the transcript.
  • When a student withdraws from the college after the last day to withdraw and not have course appear on transcript, a W is assigned to all courses and posted on the transcript.
  • Notification of withdrawal must be made in writing to the Registrar. A withdrawal from Linfield College form is available from the Registrar/Registration Office and must be completed with the required signatures. Where applicable, the student must participate in a Student Loan Exit Interview. Transcripts will not be forwarded or furnished until the Controller of the college has certified to the Registrar the fulfillment of all financial obligations.
