Dropping a Course

WITHDRAWING FROM A COURSE-SPRING 2012 It is vitally important to remember that nonattendance does not mean that you have withdrawn from a class. In order to withdraw from a class, you must follow the procedure described here.  The last day to drop a class for a 14 week course in the Spring 2012 semester is April 9, 2012.

Procedure through April 9, 2012 for a 14 week course: (the grade will be "W" and does not affect your GPA).

  1. Using your official CampusCruiser email acccount, email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to request the drop of a class.  The email request should include your full name, MCC ID number and the course information for the course(s) you wish to drop. Students may also drop classes by completing the Drop-Add Form and submitting it directly to the Office of the Registrar in Chambers Hall.
  2. International students who are on F-1 visa status must meet with an International Student Counselor before they can withdraw from a class or from the College.
  3. You cannot withdraw from a course through your WebAdvisor account.
  4. For developmental course withdrawal, a signature is required from either the curriculum chairperson, the Dean of the student's division, an academic advisor in the Advising Center or a faculty advisor.
  5. Take the form to the Registrar's Office by April 9, 2012.
  6. A grade of "W" will appear on your permanent academic record.

NOTE: If you need to withdraw from all of your courses, the same procedures are followed, but your paperwork must be completed in the Counseling and Career Services Department (Edison Hall 100). 

NOTE:

  1. You may enroll in a course only 3 times. A grade of "W", "N", "X", counts as an enrollment. A student who wishes to take a class for a fourth time or more must file an Appeal for Exception to College Policy with an advisor in the Academic Advising Center in Chambers Hall 109.  This is a new policy effective February 25, 2008 and amended on December 16, 2009. Please do not visit your Dean for this appeal.  "N" grades were discontinued beginning with the Fall 2007 semester.
  2. If you drop below 12 credits/credit equivalents, you will have part-time student status and lose your athletic eligibility if you are a member of one of the College's teams. This change of status may also affect your Financial Aid and your health insurance coverage. Please investigate these possibilities before dropping a course.
  3. All EOF students must see Dr. Gordon or Mr. Marius before withdrawing from a course.

*Date valid for 14 week courses only.
