Shelton State Student Handbook 2014-2015
on any property or in any building owned or operated by Shelton State Community College. Realistic facsimiles of
weapons are also not allowed.
This policy does not apply to law enforcement officials legally authorized to carry such weapons who are officially
enrolled in classes or who are acting in the performance of their duties or an instructional program in which
firearms are required equipment.
Student violations may be addressed in accordance with the Code of Student Conduct as well as other applicable
policies and may include sanctions up to and including expulsion.
WITHDRAWAL POLICY
Once classes begin for the respective term, students who wish to withdraw from a class or completely withdraw
from school must officially withdraw on or before the date designated as the last day to withdraw for the
semester. The last day to withdraw from any class is defined in the College’s Academic Calendar and there will be
NO withdrawals after this date. A student who withdraws prior to the published date will receive a grade of “W”
regardless of the grade average at the time of the withdrawal, and the “W” will be recorded on the student’s
transcript. Students who remain in the class after the last day to withdraw will receive the grade earned for the
class. No withdrawals will be taken over the telephone or by email. Failure to attend class does not constitute
official withdrawal. Students are unable to completely withdraw from all classes online and are required to meet
with an advisor/navigator prior to withdrawing completely from Shelton State. Students who wish to withdraw
from some, but not all, classes in a given term are encouraged to meet with an advisor/ navigator. Students who
are Pell recipients or receive veteran’s benefits must speak with a representative from the Office of Financial Aid
before withdrawing from classes. Grant awards can be reduced or cancelled if students do not complete classes
successfully. Withdrawing from any course has the potential to impact current and future financial aid
opportunities.
