Students who wish to withdraw from Commonwealth Institute, or from a single class, prior to the end of a quarter are required to sign a withdrawal form, available from the Registrar; or to write, sign and submit a letter of withdrawal to Commonwealth Institute.

The letter should include:

1. date of intended withdrawal;
2. specific reason(s) for withdrawal;
3. plan to return at a later date, if applicable; and
4. student’s permanent mailing address.

Mere absence from scheduled classes will not be regarded as a formal withdrawal. Failure to comply with this regulation can result in the recording of failing grades in all courses in which the student is enrolled. Students following proper withdrawal procedure prior to the beginning of quarter final examinations will have a “W” recorded on their official transcripts. Refer to the FINANCIAL AID section for additional information concerning withdrawal.Commonwealth Institute does not warrant the acceptance of its credits at other academic institutions. Acceptance of transfer credit is strictly a function of the receiving institution.
