Student Withdrawal

Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology recognizes that for various reasons, students sometimes need to withdrawal from the college. 

An academic advisor can help a student develop alternative plans to remain enrolled, as well as help the student understand how withdrawing might affect future educational plans. The Office of Financial Aid can address questions regarding aid. All students who wish to withdraw from the College must follow these steps:

• The student must complete the College Withdrawal Form available on Thad’s Pad or from the Registrar’s Office (Hartzell 107).
• The student must visit all College offices outlined on the Form’s checklist.
• Resident students are required to notify their Residence Hall Advisor (RHA) of their departure and coordinate room key return. Withdrawing students must vacate the campus by 4:30pm the day following notification of withdrawal. In some instances, students will be asked to depart immediately or by the evening of notification of withdrawal.
• Withdrawal forms must be returned to the Registrar’s Office (Hartzell 107) for the withdrawal process to be completed. The official withdrawal date is the day the signed College Withdrawal Form is received by the Registrar’s Office.

Transfer Credit Information

Current and confirmed incoming students may be able to transfer past college-level credits into Thaddeus Stevens College. Any student who desires to transfer credits to Thaddeus Stevens College must have taken the classes at a college accredited by a recognized accrediting agency. Only courses with a grade of “C” or higher will be transferred. Transferred classes are re-coded with a “T” (transfer credit) in place of a merit grade. These classes do not factor into a student’s GPA. A student may transfer a maximum of 30 credit’s for an associate degree program and a maximum of 15 for a nine-month certificate program. Coursework older than ten years will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Students interested in credit transfer should request an official transcript from the college(s) where courses were taken to be sent to the Registrar’s Office. That office will evaluate all materials and might request additional information in determining course transferability. Students can see classes accepted for transfer through the College’s Colleague Self-Service portal.
