Students may add or drop classes prior to the start of the semester by LionsLink. After the term begins, all class withdrawals must be processed through an advisor and the Records Office.

Students who wish to withdraw from a class or change classes are governed by the following policy:

• Withdrawals through the official reporting day are not recorded on the student's permanent record. However, any withdrawal on the first class day or after will be counted as attempted hours for financial aid purpose.

• After the official reporting day:
  1. Students are required to obtain both their instructor's and advisor's signatures in order to withdraw.
  2. Students withdrawing from a credit course prior to 5:00 p.m. on Friday of the tenth week (or the equivalent) of the fall or spring semester will receive a "W" on their permanent record.
  3. Summer term students withdrawing from a credit class prior to 5:00 p.m. on Friday, two weeks prior to the end of the 5 or 6 week term during which they are enrolled will receive a "W" on their permanent record.

The withdrawal is NOT complete until the Change of Schedule Form is turned in to Records Office, second floor of the Smith-Pendergraft Campus Center.

Failure to attend and/or pay tuition does not constitute official withdrawal.

Students who are on financial aid or are receiving a scholarship should check with the Financial Aid Office prior to withdrawing from a class.
