What are some possible consequences of dropping courses that will result in less than
full-time status (12 credits)?
|
| |
- Dropping below full time status might delay graduation plans. (Since graduation requires
a minimum of 120 units, students taking 15 credits per semester are more likely to
graduate in 8 semesters).
|
- Completing fewer credits in an academic semester/year could affect certain types of
financial aid. In addition, a student who completely withdraws from a period of enrollment
may be subject to repayment. Contact a Financial Aid representative for additional
information. The Financial Aid office is located on the first floor of the Professional
Building.
|
- Dropping below 12 credits could affect benefits such as Health/Auto insurance coverage.

What procedures do I need to take to drop a course?
|
| |
| You may officially drop a course during the first two weeks of the semester through
the web. Drops are normally not permitted after the third week of classes. During
the third week of instruction, you must submit a "Change of Program form" available
in the Enrollment Center (Professional Building) or the Advising Center (Bell Tower).
Withdrawal is permissible only for serious and compelling reasons and signature approval
is required. Make sure you obtain approval signatures from your instructor and Program
Coordinator before turning the change of program form into the Enrollment Center.
Review the chart published in the schedule of classes for policies and important dates
relating to drops. The “Change of Program form” must be filed at the Admissions and
Records Office located in the Enrollment Center.
