What does it mean to...

Drop

During open registration students may drop one or more courses for 100% refund and the record of the class will not show on their transcript. Beginning the day after registration closes, students may no longer drop a course. Students now must "withdraw" to officially stop taking a course.

Partial withdraw

A partial withdrawal means withdrawing from one or more courses but NOT the entire schedule of classes. A "W" appears on the transcript for each course withdrawn. A "W" does not affect grade point average.

Complete withdraw

A complete withdrawal is withdrawing from all courses for the remainder of the term. A "W" appears on the transcript for each course withdrawn. A "W" does not affect grade point average.

Exception: If a class does not meet for the first time until after the last day to register then the student has a 24-hour grace period to drop the course for a full 100% refund. After that, a student must withdraw to officially stop taking the course.

Caution: Depending on the dates, students may receive a partial refund of tuition, however, even if they haven't paid anything they are still financially responsible for their tuition.
