Grading
Those registering to take the course for credit will be given a final grade as determined by the instructor.  Anyone wishing to withdraw from the class must notify the designated representative from Bethesda Church to complete a withdrawal form. If a student withdraws from the course prior to the first session, it will not appear on his or her academic record. Once the course begins on Sunday through the end of Monday’s session, it will appear as a W (withdraw passing). However, anyone withdrawing from the class after the end of Monday’s session will be given a WF (withdraw failing).
