Dropping: A student may officially drop a class within the prescribed time as noted in the Academic Calendar. The date on which the student drops from the class will affect the amount of refund to which the student may be entitled. Classes dropped during the prescribed time do not appear on the student's transcript. Students receiving financial aid should consult with a representative in the Financial Aid Office.

Withdrawing: A student who officially withdraws within the prescribed time will receive a "W" on the transcript. If a student stops attending classes or fails to officially withdraw, a grade of "F" or "FA" will be assigned for each class. It is the student's responsibility to officially withdraw. Withdrawing from a class may have an effect on financial aid. Therefore, students receiving financial aid should consult with a representative in the Financial Aid Office.
