§ 55024. Withdrawals from Credit Courses.
(b)(1) A student who withdraws prior to the end of the fourth week of a course, or the expiration of 30 percent of a term, whichever occurs earlier, shall not receive the withdrawal symbol “W” on their transcript. A student who withdraws after this period, but before the end of the fourteenth week of a course, or the expiration of 75 percent of a term, whichever occurs earlier, shall receive the withdrawal symbol “W” on their transcript, unless the district selects an earlier final withdrawal date. A student who remains in a course beyond the district withdrawal date may not withdraw, and shall receive the appropriate symbol on their transcript, as authorized in section 55023. The governing board may establish a period of time shorter than the first four weeks or 30 percent of a term, during which no notation shall be made. The “W” shall not be used in calculating grade point averages, but shall be used in determining probation and dismissal of a student.
(2)(A) Military withdrawal occurs when a student on active or reserve status in the United States military or National Guard receives orders compelling a withdrawal from courses. Upon verification of such orders, the military withdrawal symbol “MW” shall be assigned to all courses affected by the military withdrawal.
(2) “Extenuating circumstances” means cases of accidents, illnesses, or other circumstances beyond the control of the student. Colleges shall proactively engage with the student or their representative to identify available college support services that may mitigate the extenuating circumstances and prevent withdrawal. If mitigation efforts are unsuccessful, the student shall receive the excused withdrawal symbol (“EW”) on their transcript. Students shall not be denied an excused withdrawal due to a college's inability to respond to the petition or to provide sufficient assistance to mitigate the student's circumstances.
