The last day to withdraw from a full semester course is ten business days prior to the last class day. The last day to withdraw from courses less than a full semester is seven business days prior to the last class day. Please verify the course withdrawal date with the instructor, as dates may need to be adjusted due to holidays. The course will be listed on the academic transcript with a W. In order to add, drop or withdraw from a course, a student must meet with his/her Faculty Advisor to complete and sign a Request for Class Schedule Change & Withdrawal Grade Assignment Form. Students are not permitted to drop or withdraw from the last course on their schedule, as that is considered withdrawing from the term (instead of dropping or withdrawing from a class). Please remember that dropping a course can affect financial aid. Revised 7-11-16 1 P a g e
