Dropping:

Universities give students a period of time to test out a course. This is called the “add/drop” period of a class. Students can add or drop the course with no penalty or mark on their transcript, as if they never signed up for the course in the first place. That is why it’s important to make this decision early in the class.

Steps to drop:

1. Speak with your professor. They are there to ensure your success and growth within the class. Often times, they will ease any concerns you have about completing the course.
2. If, after talking with your professor, you still want to drop the class, please go to your high school counselor. They will have you fill out a form that drops you from the class.
3. Once the form is filled out, you will be dropped.

*If you miss the first three classes, you will be automatically dropped from the course.

Withdrawing:

Students must withdraw from the course if they decide they want to quit the course AFTER the add/drop deadline has passed. Unfortunately, this will be on your transcript, so make sure you consult your professor and high school counselor before making that decision.

Steps to withdraw:

1. Speak with your professor. They are there to ensure you success and growth within the class. Often times, they will ease any concerns you have about completing the course.
2. If, after talking with your professor, you still want to drop the class, please go to your high school counselor. They will have you fill out a form that withdraws you from the class.
3. Once the form is filled out, you will be withdrawn.
