NEW WITHDRAW POLICY

3/21 IMPORTANT re Dropping Classes and repeatability:

Students who opt to drop their classes can do so without getting a W on their transcript. We’re going to apply this to any student that dropped a class after the announcement of the suspension of face-to-face classes on March 9th. 

Students can use the normal drop processes through myRAM (neƩ Web4) to take this option.

In addition to not appearing on transcripts, drops will not affect repeatability or count towards probation.

Students who drop classes will get any enrollment fees that they might have paid refunded. These refunds will be done automatically. We’re still getting clarity from the Feds about the impact on federal financial aid. Students that had gotten Free City grants will not have to repay any money they’d already gotten, but the drops may impact future payments.

Finally, the shift to online instruction will not impact the support for our veteran students.
