Students may drop classes up until the end of the second week of the term. Students may add classes through the end of the first week of classes.

Once classes begin, all students must complete a Add/Drop Form and submit it to the Office of Student Services in order to add or drop a class. Dropping a class once classes have begun will entitle the student to a partial refund if they have made a payment.

Once a course has been dropped, it will no longer appear on a student’s transcript or count toward the total credits for the term. Students who receive financial aid should always consult with a financial aid staff member before dropping or adding classes. For Drop/Add deadlines, see the academic calendar.

After the first two weeks of class, a student is considered permanent in the class and can only withdraw.  To withdraw, an official withdrawal must be completed in the Office of Student Services. Failure to attend class does not constitute an official withdrawal. Courses officially dropped before the end of the eighth week of classes will be recorded as a “W.”

Withdrawal from a class after eight weeks will result either in a grade of “WP” (Withdrawn Passing) or “WF” (Withdrawn failing), depending on the student’s progress in the course until the time of withdrawal. The “WP” grade does not affect the student’s Grade Point Average but will appear on official transcripts. A grade of “WF” will affect the student’s Grade Point Average in the same manner as a grade of “F.”

Students are still assessed the full course charges for any withdrawn class. Students with financial aid must first consult with financial aid before withdrawing from a class.
