Withdrawal from the College

Official Withdrawal

Students are officially withdrawn from Williamson College of the Trades either through dismissal (academic or disciplinary) or voluntary withdrawal.

Following completion of the withdrawal process, students must remove personal belongings from the college within twenty-four hours or the college may dispose of such items.

Unofficial Withdrawal

If a student is absent without an approved excuse from Williamson for ten consecutive academic days, he is unofficially withdrawn. In such cases, the student forfeits his Enrollment Deposit. The Student Affairs Office will complete the applicable items on the Student Withdrawal Checklist, including the student’s last academic attendance day and will notify the appropriate offices, to include the Financial Aid Office, of the student’s withdrawal.

Students unofficially withdrawn must remove their personal belongings from the college within five business days of the student withdrawal date or the college may dispose of such items.

Withdrawal Process

Students who are officially withdrawn must complete the Student Withdrawal Checklist, obtained from the Office of Student Affairs, prior to departing campus. The checklist includes a number of interviews:

  • Interview with the President (or designated representative)
  • Interview with the Vice President of Student Affairs (or designated representative)
  • Interview with the Financial Aid Office

In addition, the student will meet with a variety of departments and offices on campus to return college equipment and property and complete his dormitory exit. Once complete, the student returns the checklist to the Vice President of Student Affairs, who completes the final administrator review and establishes the official withdrawal date. Following completion of the checklist, the Office of Student Affairs notifies applicable college departments, including the Financial Aid Office, of the student’s official withdrawal and established withdrawal date.
