Drop a Class

Students should view the Section Deadline Dates before dropping a class. These dates include the last day for tuition refund, the census date, and the last day to drop. The deadline dates are specific to your class and section. Classes that students drop after the refund period will appear as a "W" mark on their transcript.

Dropping classes has the potential to affect your current and future eligibility for Financial Aid. You can speak with the Financial Aid Office before dropping a class to see how this may affect your current or future aid.
