Dropping a Course or Withdrawing from College

To drop a class or withdraw from the college, you must follow the prescribed procedure. It is your responsibility as a student to drop or withdraw. Failure to do so will result in your receiving a performance grade, usually a grade of "F". Should circumstances prevent you from appearing in person to withdraw from the college, you may withdraw by the following:

  • Mail or FAX to the registrar indicating which courses and by including a copy of your picture I.D., social security number or college I.D. number and signature;
  • through the college online registration system; or
  • through the "telephone registration" system.

A drop/withdrawal request by any means must be received in the Registrar's Office by the official drop/withdrawal deadline. No drop or withdrawal requests are accepted by telephone unless through the "telephone registration" system.

If you drop a class or withdraw from the college before the official drop/withdrawal deadline, you will receive a "W" (Withdraw) in each class dropped. The deadline for receiving a "W" is indicated on the academic calendar and the current class schedule.

See Refund Policy for possible refund eligibility. Students who drop or withdraw should be aware of the course repeat policy.
