Course Disenrollment and Re-enrollment
Withdrawals may be either voluntary or involuntary. Students are encouraged to withdraw voluntarily when the constraints of time and circumstance prevent course completion.
Disenrollment
Requests for disenrollment can be sent to the Online Program manager and the professor. Voluntary or involuntary disenrollment at any time throughout the program is “with prejudice.”
Students who have voluntarily or involuntarily disenrolled from any prior online program session will only receive one additional attempt to successfully complete the program. A second voluntary or involuntary disenrollment will result in the student being placed at the bottom of the waitlist for enrollment in a future program.
For students desiring to withdraw, please email your professor andOnlineAdmin@usnwc.edu.
Please Note: No credit will be awarded for a partially completed Block.

For students desiring to re-enroll, please email your reasoning to OnlineAdmin@usnwc.edu.
