DROPPING CLASSES A student may drop a class during the first five business days of the semester and this course will not become a part of the student’s permanent academic record. After the first five business days of classes and up to the deadline to drop a class, a grade of “W” (withdrawal from the course) is issued. Last day to drop a Degree Completion Program or Online class with a grade of “W” is by the end of the third week of the course. Once a student attends the first class it is his or her responsibility to drop the course by officially notifying the Registrar’s Office. Dropping a course without official notification earns a grade of “F.”
ADMINSTRATIVE DROPPING FROM A COURSE A student will be administratively dropped from a course if he or she does not attend the first class and this course will not become a part of the student’s permanent academic record. First class attendance for an online course is based on the student logging in to the course and visiting the content area. Once a student attends the first class it is his or her responsibility to drop the course by officially notifying the Registrar’s Office and requesting to be dropped with a grade of “W.”
FINANCIAL POLICY Payment must be made prior to the start date of the course. If payment is not received by this date, the course will be dropped from the student’s record and charges will be removed for their account.
