Emergency Drop Appeals

Students may petition to withdraw after the withdrawal deadline and before a final grade has been submitted if an emergency situation exists.  An emergency is defined as an extraordinary and unforeseen event (such as an illness requiring hospitalization, work transfer to another state, etc.) that prevented a student from withdrawing by the withdrawal deadline.  The appeal must be submitted prior to final grades being submitted.  If the appeal is approved, a grade of W will be given for the course grade.

The appeal is reviewed by the Emergency Drop/Late Withdrawal Appeal Committee. Students are notified via OCCC email address of the appeal decision.

To be considered for an Emergency Drop, students must submit the following:

  • A completed Emergency Drop Appeal Form
  • A typed letter explaining the circumstances which prevented timely withdrawal from course(s)
  • Documentation to support circumstances of the appeal

Late Withdrawal Appeals

Students may petition to withdraw after final grades have been submitted if an emergency situation exists. An emergency is defined as an extraordinary and unforeseen event (such as an illness requiring hospitalization, work transfer to another state, etc.) that prevented a student from withdrawing by the withdrawal deadline.

The appeal will be reviewed by the Emergency Drop/Late Withdrawal Appeal Committee. Students are notified via OCCC email address of the appeal decision.

To be considered for a Late Withdrawal, students must submit the following:

  • A completed Late Withdrawal Appeal Form
  • A typed letter explaining the circumstances which prevented timely withdrawal from courses
  • Documentation to support circumstances of the appeal

*The Late Withdrawal Appeal applies to ALL courses within the term for which an appeal is submitted.  If approved, all courses for that term will be given a grade of W, regardless of the original letter grade earned. Late Withdrawal Appeals submitted more than one year after the semester in question will not be accepted.
