Dropping or Withdrawing From a Class

If you are unable to continue your Concurrent Enrollment class, you must follow the proper procedure to drop or withdraw from the class. Failure to do so may result in a failing grade and will affect your SLCC GPA. Failing or withdrawing from a class may affect your eligibility for financial aid in the future.*  Read below to understand the difference between dropping and withdrawing. The procedures and deadlines are also explained below.

Drop

The deadline for dropping a class is three weeks after the college semester starts. If you need to drop a class you do so with a Drop/Withdrawal form. Print out the form, have it signed by the teacher and return it to our office. The address and fax number are on the form. Check MyPage to make sure that you are properly dropped from the class. Classes that have been dropped do not show on a SLCC transcript and do not affect SLCC GPA.

Withdrawal

The deadline for withdrawing from a class is published each semester. Withdrawing from a class does not erase the class from your SLCC transcript. The class will appear with a 'W' on the SLCC transcript, this does not affect the SLCC GPA. Students can withdraw with instructor’s approval anytime after the drop deadline and before the published withdrawal deadline. If you need to withdraw from a class you do so with a Drop/Withdrawal form. Print out the form, have it signed by the teacher and return it to our office. The address and fax number is on the form. Check MyPage to make sure that you are properly withdrawn from the class.



Repeating a Class

State guidelines do not allow students to repeat a Concurrent Enrollment class at the high school. Repeat classes must be taken through Early Enrollment admission or after high school graduation. The student must pay full tuition for any classes taken through the Early Enrollment process.

Home and Hospital

Students who are unable to complete a Concurrent Enrollment class due to extended illness or who are changed to home and hospital status are required to drop or withdraw from the class. Home and hospital teachers are not approved by the college to teach Concurrent Enrollment classes. However, each situation is different and will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Students, parents, and teachers are advised to work closely with the Concurrent Enrollment office.

* To be able to received Financial Aid, a student must complete 70% of the classes they attempt successfully.  A failed grade or a withdrawal will count against the student.
