About »Withdrawing from a class is a serious decision. PLEASE speak to your advisor or Financial Aid counselor before you withdraw from a class or from the college completely.
You can DROP during the ADD/DROP period for each term and part of term (A,B,L, and T). The last date to DROP a class, without penalty, is noted on the Student Calendar for each part of term. The course will be removed from your transcript as if you had never registered for the course. After the ADD/DROP period, you must WITHDRAW from a course and receive a grade of W on your transcript.
Withdrawing from classes after the add/drop period is completed through Pathway with the exception of the student's last class. Instructions to complete this can be found here. Students may withdraw from class with a grade of “W ” up until two weeks prior to classes ending–see college calendar for Last Date to Withdraw from Class. After the Last Date to Withdraw, instructors have the option to award an “I” or the grade earned in the course.
The withdrawal period begins after the add/drop period ends. This is typically two weeks before the end of the term. The last day to withdraw from classes is also listed on the Student Calendar.
Withdrawal deadlines will vary for condensed terms. See the Student Calendar for these dates.
If a student wants to withdraw from their LAST CLASS (total withdrawal from the college), the “Semester Withdrawal” form must be completed (forms are available in the Student Records Office and from your advisor). The student will be required to talk with an advisor, counselor, or financial aid counselor prior to withdrawing from the last class in order to discuss the potential consequences of the withdrawal. Once the form is completed and signed by the student and advisor/counselor, it should be forwarded to the Student Records Office for processing. The withdrawal will not be processed until all signatures are obtained.
