Policy Statement

Students enrolled in online courses must check in to courses and complete the assigned work or officially withdraw.

Policy Procedures

  • Failure to check in to the course will result in an administrative withdrawal from the course.
  • Students who withdraw after the check-in period may receive a grade of “WP” or “WF.”
  • Ongoing participation will be based on the student fulfilling weekly requirements of a course.
  • Students who check in to a course and fail to maintain ongoing participation but do not officially withdraw will receive a grade of “F.”

Failure to follow this policy may lead to disciplinary action.
