Withdrawal Information

 

If a student must withdraw from the College before the

completion of studies, he/she is first required to consult

with the Primary Instructor of his/her cohort, and submit

a status change form (see Appendix A) to the SADE office.

Please note that the effective date of withdrawal will be

according to the date the student notifies the Registrar.

Please be aware that withdrawal from the program will affect a

student’s eligibility for financial aid, loan deferments and

scholarships/grants. Until the SADE office is notified, absences

continue to accumulate. Students should read the College refund

policy at the beginning of this handbook.

 

Withdrawals: If a student finds it necessary to withdraw from

the program, he/she will receive credit for any courses completed.

Withdrawal from the program will jeopardize any financial aid for

the remainder of the academic year. (These regulations have been

set by the Federal and State Governments.)

 

For financial adjustment in case of withdrawal, please call the Office

of SADE Financial Services at (845) 358–5360, extension 4478.

Re-admissions: Students who fail to officially withdraw from the

program must apply for re-admission to the program. If approved

for re-admission, a student may join the next appropriate class

and pay the current tuition and fees. SADE Student Handbook 41

Credit Refund Policy (2007-2008)

A. 2007-2008 REFUND POLICY

Since Nyack College School of Adult and Distance Education is

on a modular schedule, our refund policy for students wishing

to withdraw differs slightly from most traditional programs.

Any credit balance will be used first to cover all educational,

expenses first. The remaining credit balance will remain on 

account until the Office of Student Financial Services is notified

via, Refund Request Form.  

 

Credit refund request forms must be received by the Office of

Financial Aid by12:00pm Friday in order for a credit refund to

be processed and mailed by the following Friday. Requests

submitted after the 12:00pm deadline Friday (Monday –Thursday)

will not be mailed for 14 business days. Students must have a

credit on their account (over and above tuition, and fees for the

current term) in order for the refund to be processed.

Satisfactory Academic Progress(SAP)

To be making satisfactory academic progress in the first of

the two semesters at Nyack, students must earn at least

10 credits with a 1.7 G.P.A. In order to graduate at the end

of the second semester, however, students must complete

the 32 required credits with a cumulative 2.0 G.P.A.

 

If a student does not have the required 10 credits

AND a G.P.A. of 1.7, the student will NOT be eligible

to receive any financial aid for the second semester.

This includes any loans, grants or scholarships. In order to

continue attending Semester Two, the student will be required

to pay the tuition in full before the first week of Semester Two

(week 27). If a student must stop out of the cohort after Semester

One, the student may transfer into another cohort after the required

academic standard has been met.

 

New financial aid paperwork must be completed before any

student may return to the Accelerated Bachelor’s Degree

Program. Students in jeopardy of not meeting Satisfactory

Academics Progress will be notified in writing on the fourth

night of Worldviews in the Global Market (week 24). If you

are granted an academic waiver (Page 29 Section E) to continue

in Semester Two and have not earned the required 10 credits

AND have a 1.7 GPA from Semester One, you are not eligible to

receive any federal, state or institutional aid.

 

E. SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS - PROBATION

Students who end Semester One with five (5) or fewer credits

completed, or less than a 1.7 Grade Point Average, will be

administratively withdrawn from their cohort. An appeal form

is available on our website for students who wish to appeal for

permission to stay in the ADC program. Students who finish

Semester One with six (6) to nine (9) credits will be automatically

placed on academic probation for the first eight weeks of Semester

Two. If by the end of 8 weeks they have still not attained 10 credits

or a 1.7 GPA, they will be administratively withdrawn.

There is no appeal of this decision.

Inter-semester Balances Due

 

 

Students who have not paid their previous semester/trimester

in full and/or have not solidified payment arrangements for the

next semester/ trimester will be placed on hold and will be unable

to proceed into the next semester/trimester. Students are notified on

the third night of Faith and Worldview for the Adult Degree Completion

Program, and are required to have completed all necessary paperwork

and payments by no later than one week prior to the start of their semester.

Finance Charge Policy

 

It is important for students to be aware that a 1.5% finance charge is

placed on accounts with greater than a zero balance each month, for

a total of 19.6% per year. While students enrolled in the Nelnet Business

Solutions Automatic Payment Plan are exempt from receiving finance

charges, students with a greater than zero balance are responsible for

paying both the balance and the accruing finance charges.
