Withdrawals


Drop-Add

Deadlines are published each semester for dropping and adding courses. These deadlines can be found on the Academic Calendar posted on the Campbell University website:https://www.campbell.edu/academics/academic-calendar-multi-year/.

Students will not be allowed to drop or add courses without the permission of the academic adviser. A “Change of Schedule Form” can be obtained from and must be returned to the Registrar’s Office.

Withdrawal from a Course

Students withdrawing from a class after the published drop-add deadline and before the course withdrawal deadline will receive a grade of “W”. The time periods listed herein for the regular semester will be applied proportionally to Summer Sessions and Adult and Online Education sessions. Deadlines for withdrawing from courses can be found on the Academic Calendar posted on the Campbell University website.  After the withdrawal deadline, course grades will be assigned based on student performance.

Students will not be allowed to withdraw from a class without the permission of the academic adviser. 

Students who do not properly withdraw from a class will be assigned a grade of “F.”

Withdrawal from the University

Students not returning following the completion of a semester should follow the withdrawal or temporary separation policy directions that are found on the University Withdrawal policies website: https://www.campbell.edu/policies/withdrawal-policies/

To withdraw officially from the University during a semester, a student should discuss options with their academic advisor before submitting the Withdrawal or Temporary Separation form (links below). This process, once completed, will be distributed to the following offices: Registrar, Financial Aid, Bursar, Accounting, Veterans Affairs, International Admissions, and Residence Life, so that a student’s record may be closed out in all these areas. The Student ID is to be turned into the Office of Student Life & Christian Mission upon withdrawal or mailed to Post Office Box 95, Buies Creek, NC 27506. Failure to withdraw by the published withdrawal deadline will result in the issuance of a grade of “F” in every course, which will adversely affect a student’s grade point average (GPA) with the exceptions noted below.

Forms:

Medical Withdrawal

Policy for Main Campus Undergraduates: Medical withdrawals may be granted at any point within the semester, only for those instances where an incapacitating injury or illness prevents the student from completing a course or courses. Contemporaneous or other appropriate medical documentation from a physician who administered care at the time of the illness or injury that clearly establishes the student’s inability to complete the course(s) as a result of that illness or injury must be submitted along with the Withdrawal or Temporary Separation form on the Withdrawal policies website. All medical withdrawals must be approved by the Vice President for Student Life & Christian Mission. Approved medical withdrawals will result in students receiving grades of “W” in the selected courses for that semester. 
 

Policy for AOE Undergraduates: Medical withdrawals may be granted at any point within the semester, only for those instances where an incapacitating injury or illness prevents the student from completing a course or courses. Contemporaneous or other appropriate medical documentation from a physician who administered care at the time of the illness or injury that clearly establishes the student’s inability to complete the course(s) as a result of that illness or injury must be submitted along with a written request for medical withdrawal to the campus office at which the student is enrolled and all medical withdrawals must be approved by the Dean of Adult & Online Education. Approved medical withdrawals will result in students receiving grades of “W” in the selected courses for that semester.

Deployment Withdrawal

Deployment withdrawals (to include domestic and international deployment) may be granted at any point within the session. The service member being deployed must present orders along with the request for withdrawal to the Student Life Office. All withdrawals must be approved by the Vice President for Student Life & Christian Mission. Approved deployment and medical withdrawals will result in students receiving grades of “W” in all courses for the term or semester.

University Disciplinary System

Campbell University believes in individual freedom, both as a right and as a responsibility. The University traditions and principles as stated in the Campbell University Mission Statement and Code of Honor, accepted by each student through his or her act of voluntary registration, evolve from the core of this concept of freedom and responsibility. Therefore, when a student chooses to attend Campbell, they accept the expectations and responsibilities as a member of this educational community. This means students are expected to adhere to the Campbell University Student Code of Honor, Student Code of Conduct and all Residence Hall Regulations. Personal responsibility includes a person’s accountability for the effects of their actions and behavior have on themselves and community members. Such situations provide one an opportunity to learn and grow.

The Vice President for Student Life & Christian Mission is responsible for the administration of Campbell University’s disciplinary system. This responsibility is exercised on behalf of the President of Campbell University and involves various hearing boards and committees.

Campbell University students are expected to abide by local, state and federal laws, and are subject to conduct action for violating any law. Although Campbell University’s role is not to duplicate civil law enforcement or judicial action, it may exercise authority for reasons essential to its functioning as an education institution.

Allegations of misconduct involving graduate students are referred to the appropriate graduate/professional school for resolution.

The Office of Student Life & Christian Mission is responsible for 1) conducting initial inquiries into allegations of misconduct; 2) determining appropriate actions, including sanctions; and 3) arranging formal hearings, if required, for violations of the Code of Honor and Student Code of Conduct, and Residential Regulations.

A student will be subject to involuntary withdrawal from the University if it is determined that the student is:

  1. Engaging or threatening to engage in behavior which poses a danger of causing physical harm to themself or others.
  2. Engaging or threatening to engage in behavior which would cause significant property damage or impede the lawful activities of others.
  3. Engaging or threatening to engage in behavior that would damage the reputation of the University or when the reputation of its members is at stake.

In dealing with instances of this nature, the first option will be for the Campbell University Behavioral Intervention Team (CUBIT) to offer the student the opportunity to withdraw from the University voluntarily. The withdrawal will be handled in the same manner as any other withdrawal except for medical reasons.

If the student (and/or the student’s parents) objects to the withdrawal, the Vice President for Student Life and Christian Mission will arrange an administrative hearing before the Executive Student Conduct Committee. A decision will be reached concerning enrollment at the University based on the student’s past and present behavior.

The Vice President for Student Life & Christian Mission may delegate the authority to conduct initial inquiries to the Office of Community Standards for violations of the Campbell University Student Code of Conduct and Residential Regulations. Students may contest the action taken during the initial inquiry by requesting a formal hearing.

Students should refer to the Student Handbook for information about all conduct procedures and community standards.
