DROP VERSUS WITHDRAW - KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!

Drop

• DROP periods are the FIRST 5 days of a 14-week semester (but are not as long for terms of shorter lengths). Check the academic calendar in the

Academic Calendars tile in MyTCTC or the academic calendar in this Orientation Guide. • Dropped courses do not appear on your academic transcript. • Students who drop a course by the drop date will receive a 100% refund for the tuition and fees of that course. • To drop a class: 1. Click on the “Register, Drop/Add, and Withdraw from Classes” link in the My Registration tile in MyTCTC. 2. Select the term and click “Continue.” In the bottom right corner, select “Drop” from the pull-down menu of the class(es) you want to drop and click “Submit.”

Withdraw

• WITHDRAW periods occur AFTER the end of the drop period until the last day to withdraw in the session for which the class is offered. Check the academic calendar in the Academic Calendars tile in MyTCTC or the academic calendar in this Orientation Guide. • Withdrawn courses are included on your academic transcript and receive grades of “W.” Grades of “W” are not used in GPA calculations BUT

MAY IMPACT YOUR FINANCIAL AID STATUS.

• Once the withdrawal date has passed, you will receive a final grade for the course. • Students who withdraw from a course will not receive a refund.

• To withdraw from a class:

1. Click on the “Register, Drop/Add, and Withdraw from Classes” link in the My Registration tile in MyTCTC. 2. Select the term and click “Continue.” In the bottom right corner, select “Student Withdrawal” from the pull-down menu beside the class(es) from which you want to withdraw and click “Submit.” • If you need to withdraw from ALL courses, a “Withdrawal from College” form must be completed with a Financial Aid counselor and submitted to

TC Central in Ruby Hicks Hall 105.
