By withdrawing from the course, you will receive a grade of “W” on your transcript and BHMT is still financially responsible to pay for the class. Per BHMT’s student agreement, a grade of “W” will result in a BHMT academic suspension. You will be notified via email regarding your next steps. Also, feel free to reach out to your Academic Success Coach for support.
