CAUTIONS:

Failure to drop or withdraw through proper procedures will probably result in a final grade of F (grades of "zero" for all unsubmitted work). A student should never simply quit attending.

It is the student's responsibility to ensure that appropriate officials receive notification and that all proper steps are taken. The college will not be responsible if paperwork or messages are not received by the appropriate personnel.

Advisors can be seen by scheduling office appointments. Advisors' email addresses, offices, and phone extensions are listed in the Faculty-Staff Directory.

Changing a class load will affect future financial assistance. It is the student's responsibility to discuss this issue with the relevant personnel (financial aid, scholarship, WIA, TAA, etc.) before making a decision. Any veteran who withdraws from a class may be required to repay the Veterans Administration a part of the benefits derived up to the point of withdrawal.

Changing a class load might affect personal insurance coverage or other business matters outside the college. It is the student's responsibility to be informed.
