Withdrawal Policy
COLLEGE NOW at BMCC
Dear Student (& Parent),
Welcome to College!
As a registered student within the College Now program, an official college record and transcript is
established. As a college student, you must adhere to all BMCC policies, including: registration and
withdrawals procedures. When you apply to the program and are accepted, you are making a
commitment to finish the course to the end. Although we understand personal issues might stop
you from continuing the program, it is your responsibility to contact the College Now program to
properly withdraw from classes and process the necessary documents. To do this, you must set up an
appointment, you must contact our office at 212.346.8457 or email Diamond Brooks, Assistant
Director of the College Now Program at dbrooks@bmcc.cuny.edu.
After the necessary documents are signed and your textbook has been returned, you will receive a “W”
as your final grade in the course. However, please note that students who do not fill out the “Official
Withdrawal Form” have not properly withdrawn from the course. As a result, a "WU" (Withdraw
Unsatisfactory) grade will be assigned and placed on your transcript as your final grade. A “WU” grade
will be calculated in your cumulative grade-point average as a "F."
We encourage students to NOT withdraw because when students who have receive a “W” and/or “F”
as their final grade for their College Now course and plan to attend BMCC for college, it will have an
impact on the amount of financial aid you will be able to receive. In addition, receiving a “W” and/or
“F” as your final grade, will affect your grade point average, thus this can place a student on academic
probation coming into college as a freshmen. As a result, the student must go through an Appeal
process and this also prevents a freshmen student from receiving a full financial aid package due to the
unsatisfactory grade point average as a freshmen student. For this reason, it is very important that a
student commits to the end and/or communicate with our office if any issues that will stop them from
attending the program.
Below, you will find the steps that occur within the Appeal Process for a BMCC student:
The process for completing an appeal is as follows:
1. Go to the Registrar's office to pick up the appropriate appeal form for Academic matters (Financial
Aid for financial aid matters). A staff member there may ask you for more information to determine if
you qualify.
2. Bring the form to the Counseling Center (S-343) to discuss the circumstances. In most cases the
counselor will advise you to secure appropriate documentation verifying your situation.
3. Get the appropriate signatures or documentation and meet with a counselor for a recommendation.
4. Return the completed appeal to the Registrar's office.
Please note that the appeal process is somewhat lengthy and may take time to approve. Information and
documentation that verifies your situation can expedite the process.
Please feel free to call me or email me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Peter Williams
