Withdrawal Procedures

To withdraw from a class or completely from the college follow the appropriate steps outlined below. Students are held responsible for any and all financial delinquencies which result from failure to complete the withdrawal process by the dates established in the Academic Calendar.

Students residing in University of Kentucky Campus Housing who withdraw from all classes are required by their housing contract to notify the UK Housing Office in writing and move out of the residence hall. They will be assessed a prorated charge for housing and dining for each day until all classes have been dropped and proper check-out has been completed. After week 12 full semester charges will apply.

If BCTC is not your home college, then you are subject to the withdrawal policies of your home college. Contact the registrar's office of your home college for more information.

Please review Financial Aid and SAP Policies before withdrawing from a course.
