Grading
When a student withdraws from college after the start of a semester, the policy for grades assigned to courses for which s/he is registered is the same as the course withdrawal policy. Students must indicate the last day of class attendance on the withdrawal application. The Office of Graduate Studies will then assign the grade appropriate for that point in the semester. A student withdrawing prior to the mid-semester date is assigned a grade of W. If a student withdraws officially after the deadline for individual course withdrawals and up to two weeks before the end of the semester, s/he will receive a "W" with a grade which indicates the quality of his/her work up to the time of withdrawal. No credit is issued for a grade of W. Once a student has entered the last two weeks of classes, s/he is committed to that coursework and is ineligible to withdraw from college. Incomplete (I) grades earned during the semester prior to the withdrawal from college are subject to the same college grading policies. Therefore, even though students may not be enrolled for the full semester, previous semester incompletes must be made up by the specified deadlines. Incompletes not made up by those dates will revert to a failure per college incomplete policy.

For refund purposes the withdrawal date for students living on-campus is determined to be the date on which the student vacates his/her room in the residence hall. Students are expected to vacate their residence hall room within 48 hours of submission of their withdrawal application. If you are not earning credit for courses at SUNY Oneonta, your residence hall contract is not in effect for that semester.
Dining

As part of the withdrawal procedure, students must visit the Financial Aid Office. Students are encouraged to discuss the future use of financial aid, repayment of loan obligations, notifying the Regents Scholarship Center and any other financial aid consideration when they visit this office.

Clearance
Students who are withdrawing from college must officially clear all records and obligations. Any uncleared obligations may result in a “hold” being placed on a student’s record. In addition to the above, students are encouraged to consult the Student Handbook, the Code of Student Conduct and the Academic Catalog for other policies not covered here which may be appropriate to their situation.
