Dropping a Class
It is recommended to discuss all changes to your schedule with your advisor/financial aid office before making a change. During the drop/add period, a course may be dropped without academic penalty. No grade or “W” will be noted on the transcript for courses dropped during this time. Courses withdrawn after the drop/add period will receive a “W” on the transcript. Grades of W are not included in grade point average calculations. Dropping a course or all classes may affect a student’s financial aid and could cause the student to owe money back to the college and lose future financial aid. Please contact the financial aid office before withdrawing from classes.
Students who wish to drop a class after the drop/add period must email drop@nacc.edu with full name, A#, and the course and subject code of the course to be withdrawn. Once the course(s) has been withdrawn, the student will receive a reply from his/her email stating the course(s) have been withdrawn. It is the student’s responsibility to make sure the class(es) has been withdrawn. Failure to drop a class may result in an F for the course. It is recommended to talk with your instructor before withdrawing from the class.
Withdrawing from All Classes
A financial aid student who withdraws from all courses may be required to repay benefits received that semester up to the time of withdrawal. Title IV students must complete at least sixty percent of the semester to avoid repaying benefits. Withdrawal from all courses may also affect the status of scholarship students. Therefore, students should consult with Financial Aid before beginning the withdrawal process. Students should also consult with their instructor and advisor to determine if the student can successfully complete the courses and to determine how dropping courses will affect graduation.
A student who wishes to withdraw from all courses should contact the Financial Aid Office before requesting to drop. After the student has been explained his/her options by financial aid and decides to withdraw, the student will email drop@nacc.edu. The email must contain the student’s full name, A#, and the course or courses the student wants to be withdrawn. A confirmation email will be sent to the student once the withdrawal is completed. If the student does not receive a confirmation email with a week of emailing drop@nacc.edu, he/she should contact the financial aid office. The student is encouraged to keep written documentation of the withdrawal. Failure to complete the withdrawal process will result in a grade of “F” for each course in which the student is enrolled. Students who withdraw after the drop/add period will receive a grade of “W” in each of their courses. Grades of “W” are not used in grade point calculation but are used in determining Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid students.
