Considering dropping a class? Before you do, please consider the following:

  • Will it have an impact on your financial aid award? Check this out with the Student Financial Services prior to dropping a class.
  • Is the course salvageable? Have you spoken with the instructor? Sometimes it is possible to remain in a course you thought you couldn’t.
  • Is the course a prerequisite for another course you need to take? Will dropping the course impact your ability to take another course you planned to take next semester? If so, consider ways to stay in the course—this might include getting tutoring, working with your instructor or limiting activities outside of school to allow more time for study.
  • Are you nearing graduation? If so, will dropping the course change your timeline for graduation?

If you decide to drop all of your classes, you'll need to complete a request for withdrawal. Drop and withdrawal forms are found in your MyGCC account.
