Administrative Withdrawal
Residential Students
Students are expected to be properly registered for courses and to abide by all drop/add and late registration procedures and deadlines stated in the UJ catalog and/or communicated by the Registrar. Students are also expected to attend all courses in which they are enrolled.
In certain circumstances, a student may be administratively withdrawn from their courses. Although the college reserves the right in each instance to determine when administrative withdrawal appears appropriate, normally this process will be initiated when a student is not attending the courses for which he or she is registered or when attendance and work for over half of those courses are erratic. Administrative withdrawal will only take place after one or both of the following conditions have occurred:
The student does not respond appropriately to reasonable requests from faculty instructors, his/her advisor, the Registrar, the Dean, and other University personnel for explanation of nonattendance.
The student is on academic probation and is not following through with expectations for academic recovery.
If the student has authorized disclosure of educational records to his/her parent(s)/guardian(s) under FERPA, the student’s parent(s)/guardian(s) may be notified.
Online Students
Online students at the University of Jamestown are expected to participate in their courses multiple times each week. If a student does not have any academically-related activity in any of their classes for 12 consecutive days (including weekend days), they will be administratively withdrawn from the university. They will also be removed from courses scheduled in subsequent terms. A student who does not have any academically-related activity in one of their courses but is participating in other courses will be removed from the course in which they are not participating.
A student who is administratively withdrawn from the University of Jamestown is still financially responsible for the cost of the entire term for which they were enrolled.
A student who is administratively withdrawn may re-enroll at the University of Jamestown in future terms following the filing of an appeal and contingent upon approval from the appeals committee.
