Withdrawing From a Class

A student may withdraw from a class by contacting the instructor, the Health Occupations office in AHWD 308, or by calling (828) 398-7878. It is important to let the Health Occupations staff know if you plan to stop attending the program class meetings for any reason.

Students receiving sponsor financial aid benefits are strongly encouraged to consult with the sponsor advisor or office before withdrawing from courses. Students receiving Veterans Affairs benefits must obtain a last date of attendance from the instructor and approval from the VA Coordinator.
