WITHDRAWAL FROM A COURSE
If you decide to withdraw from a course, you must do so officially. Depending on when you decide to withdraw, you must adhere to one of the following procedures:
Prior to the first day of class:
If you are eligible for web registration, you may drop and add classes through CampusCruiser/WebAdvisor until midnight of the day before the class begins. If you are not eligible to use the web, you may drop a course by using an ADD/DROP Change form. Submit the form to the Office of the Registrar. Dropping prior to the start of the course has no effect on your Grade Point Average, and the course is not recorded on the permanent academic record.
First ten days from the first day of a Fall or Spring semester:
You may drop a course by using an ADD/DROP Change form. Withdrawing from a course at this time has no effect on the Grade Point Average, and the course is not recorded on the permanent academic record. For developmental course withdrawal a signature is required from either the curriculum chairperson, the dean of the student's division, an academic advisor in the advising center or a faculty advisor. All forms must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar.
After a class has met once, a student may not be able to register for another class.
Eleventh day through the end of the withdrawal period:
You may drop a course by using an ADD/DROP Change form. A grade of “W” will appear on your permanent academic record. For developmental course withdrawal a signature is required from either the curriculum chairperson, the dean of the student’s division, an academic advisor in the advising center or a faculty advisor. All forms must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar. The dropped course will be designated as having been taken one time according to the Repeated Course requirement in the college catalog.
After the withdrawal period ends:
You may appeal to the dean of your academic division should withdrawal be necessitated for reasons of health or circumstances beyond your control.
For all withdrawals:
- Students should retain the copy of the withdrawal form given them by the registrar until final grades are assigned.
- Withdrawal from a developmental course may limit the courses for which you may register next semester.
- Students withdrawing from Fall II or Spring II, Winter Session or Summer Session, should refer to the current schedule bulletin for deadline dates.
- The withdrawal period ends 10 business days after midterm grades are available. The exact date will be posted each semester throughout the campus.

- 50% refund for withdrawal during the third and fourth meeting days of the course.
