| Q: What is the difference between drop and withdrawal? |
| A: |
To avoid owing a bill, students can drop classes before the SEMESTER begins. If a class is dropped during a partial refund period, the student will only owe a portion of the bill. A dropped class does NOT appear on the student’s transcript.
A withdrawal occurs after the refund period. Students are financially responsible for withdrawn classes. A withdrawal appears on the student’s transcript as a “W” grade. |
