Grading
When a student withdraws from SUNY Oneonta after the start of a semester, the policy for grades assigned to courses for which s/he is registered is the same as the course withdrawal policy. Students must indicate the last day of class attendance on the withdrawal application. The Office of the Registrar will then assign the grade appropriate for that point in the semester. A student withdrawing prior to the mid-semester date is assigned a grade of W. If a student withdraws officially after the deadline for individual course withdrawals and up to two weeks before the end of the semester, s/he will receive a "W" with a grade which indicates the quality of his/her work up to the time of withdrawal. No credit is issued for grade of W. Once a student has entered the last two weeks of classes, s/he is committed to that coursework and is ineligible to withdraw from SUNY Oneonta.
Incomplete (I) grades earned during the semester prior to the withdrawal from SUNY Oneonta are subject to the same university grading policies. Therefore, even though students may not be enrolled for the full semester, previous semester incompletes must be made up by the specified deadlines. Incompletes not made up by those dates will revert to a failure per university incomplete policy.

If you are not earning credit for courses at SUNY Oneonta, your residence hall contract is not in effect for that semester.

Student Health Insurance
Refundable only if the student withdraws prior to the first day of classes. If the insurance charge is not refunded, coverage will remain in effect to the expiration date of coverage.
Readmission
Any student whose continuity of attendance is interrupted to the extent that s/he fails to finish a semester or is out a semester must apply for readmission. All applicants for readmission are reviewed by the university Committee on Student Progress and Status. Application for readmission does not imply automatic readmission. All requests for readmission are considered in light of current university policies and conditions. If readmitted, students are placed under the degree requirements in place at the time of readmission. Applications for readmission may be obtained from Academic Advisement, Netzer Admin. Bldg. Room 100.
Note: There is a $20 readmission application fee. Readmission applications must be filed prior to:
July 1 - for consideration for Fall semester readmission November 1 - for consideration for Spring semester readmission May 1 - for consideration for Summer session readmission
Beginning Fall 2015, the deadlines for applying for readmission are as follows:
- Applications for Fall due June 1
- Applications for Spring due October 1
- Applications for Summer due April 2 – only available to those students who can complete their degree requirements in the summer of readmission.
Students who have withdrawn for medical or psychological reasons may be required to provide documentation to the Office of Student Affairs prior to readmission. If the absence has been greater than one academic year, the student must submit a new Health Report. Readmission does not guarantee on-campus housing. The student must initiate contact with the university Housing Office to be considered for a room in a residence hall. If a "Hold" has been placed on a student's record while in attendance, or after withdrawal, the "Hold" must be cleared before the application for readmission will be processed.
Financial Aid
As part of the withdrawal procedure students must visit the Financial Aid Office. Students are encouraged to discuss future use of financial aid, repayment of loan obligations, notifying the Regents Scholarship Center and any other financial aid consideration when they visit this office.
Clearance
Students who are withdrawing from university must officially clear all records and obligations. Any uncleared obligations may result in a “hold” being placed on a student’s record.
In addition to the above, students are encouraged to consult the Student Handbook, the Code of Student Conduct and Academic Catalog for other policies not covered here which may be appropriate to their situation.
