Removing a class from your schedule is considered a drop or withdrawal, depending on the timing of the removal.  If prior to the drop deadline, removing a class from your schedule is considered a class drop, whereas after the drop deadline it is considered a class withdrawal.  Class drops are removed from your academic record, while class withdrawals remain with a grade that signifies you withdrew from the class.

A session is a period within a term when a class is offered.  Deadlines for drops, withdrawals and refunds will often vary between sessions within a term.

Most classes are scheduled within the regular (1) session of a fall or spring term, although some classes are offered for only part of a term.  In addition, the J session is considered a part of the fall (undergraduate) or spring (graduate) terms, but it takes place in between the regular sessions in those terms. 

You can identify the drop and withdrawal deadlines for classes by viewing your class schedule in CheckMarq.  These deadlines are also displayed on the Drop Classes page in CheckMarq.

• Classes dropped prior to the drop deadline are removed from your academic record.
• Potential academic impacts include a delay in graduation and ineligibility for classes you were planning to take in an upcoming semester due to prerequisites no longer being met after the drop.
• You are encouraged to contact your academic adviser to ensure you remain on track with your degree progress or if you have any questions regarding the academic impact of a class drop.

• There is not a tuition charge for classes that are dropped prior to the deadline.  However, a class drop may not lower your tuition bill if you continue to be enrolled on a full-time basis.
• You are encouraged to review the Billing Information website and contact ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵCentral with any questions.

• There could be financial aid implications if the drop leads to a status change that impacts your eligibility for aid.
  • Please see the Award Information Guide for eligibility rules related to different types of aid.
• You are encouraged to review the Return of Title IV Financial Aid website (if dropping all classes) and the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policy.
