What is the difference between “dropping” a class and “withdrawing” from a class?
If you “Drop” a class, then your student tuition account will be credited the tuition and fees equal to the cost of the class and the class will be removed from our transcripts. If you “withdraw” from a class, then you receive a “W” as a grade on your transcript for the class and you are held liable for the tuition and fees for that class. Please refer to our current catalog or schedule publication for further information on “dropping” or “withdrawing” from courses. If you received financial aid funds (grants, scholarships and/or loans), you may owe funds back to the college if you drop, stop attending or withdraw from courses.
If I withdraw from a class, can I still get a refund?
No. If you withdraw from a course you will still be liable for the Tuition and Fees. If you are on a payment plan, it will continue to draft monthly payments as scheduled. If you are receiving financial aid funds, this may impact your eligibility and repayment of funds may be required. Visit with the Financial Aid Office before withdrawing to see how you may be impacted financially.
