Holmes Community College

The Academic Dean of the member schools of the MSVCC passed the following rules in regards to withdrawing from MSVCC courses:

1. The student may withdraw up to the 75% mark of the MSVCC term with a W. To see the specific date, go to the MSVCC site and click on the calendar option on the left side of the page.
2. After that date, the MSVCC schools follow their own policy.  Holmes students must adhere to the following policy: A student who finds it necessary to withdraw (drop) from a course will be allowed to withdraw (drop) with a W through 75% of the semester.  After the 75% mark, students will NOT be allowed to initiate a withdrawal (drop).  Students who are administratively withdrawn after the specified withdrawal date must be passing the course to receive a W.  Otherwise, students will receive an F for the course.
3. Procedures for withdrawing from an online course before the 75% mark.
1. All Holmes students must contact their instructor and have the instructor submit the following information:
   • Student Name
   • Student H-number
   • Course Name, Prefix, Number, & Section
   • LDA
2. If they are a Holmes instructor, they will complete a Holmes withdrawal form provided for them in the Faculty Resources area of the Distance learning web site.
3. If it is in an instructor from another college, they must email the information to their own distance learner coordinator who will then email it to hguest@holmescc.edu.
4. To confirm your withdrawal, go to your Student Profile and check the student status for that course.
4. After the 75% mark, students will NOT be allowed to initiate a withdrawal (drop). Students who are administratively withdrawn after the specified withdrawal date must be passing the course to receive a W. Otherwise, students will receive an F for the course.
