A student may petition the ASC (Academic Standing Committee) to withdraw during an academic term when it seems that staying at Carleton would be neither productive nor worthwhile. In this case, the student’s transcript will indicate "withdrew no penalty." The term would not count as one of the 12 terms allowed for graduation (although it will use one term of allotted financial aid monies). The date of withdrawal would be posted on the transcript. Students so withdrawing are generally required to be away from Carleton for a minimum of two terms before readmission will be considered. Requirements for readmission would be determined by the ASC. Students considering this option should consult with an Associate Dean of Students in the Office of the Dean.
