Late Withdrawals

When a financial, medical, or other emergency circumstance makes it impossible or unwise to continue at Cottey, a student may withdraw after the deadline with the approval of the vice president for academic affairs. A late withdrawal under these circumstances permits the student to return to Cottey within one year of withdrawing without reapplying for admission, to register as a continuing student, to be guaranteed campus housing, and to complete degree requirements under the College Catalog in effect when the student matriculated. The vice president for academic affairs will not approve a request for a late withdrawal unless the student has a cumulative grade point average which would allow returning in good standing. In the case of a withdrawal for medical reasons, the student must provide written documentation from a medical health professional recommending the withdrawal.
