Students desiring to drop or add classes or change curriculums are strongly encouraged to visit with their instructor, advisor or academic counselor. Appropriate forms are available with the academic counselor in the Student Success Center.
Students should review the current academic calendar for specific drop and add dates.
A grade of “F” will be recorded for any course not formally dropped.
A change in registration may affect your tuition charges and/or your financial aid. In order to fulfill financial aid requirements, a student must successfully complete 67 percent of the attempted courses. Check with the Financial Aid office for any changes resulting in a change of schedule or dropping to the status of part-time student. Information regarding refunding of tuition and fees for withdrawing from college or dropping individual classes may be found in the tuition and fees section of this catalog.
Course Cancellation Process
Students are expected to establish an early record of attendance and participation in all courses. Those who fail to do so within the published time-frame may be cancelled from the course by Student Success at the instructor’s request. Cancellations and non-attendance may carry financial and academic consequences.
Students who stop attending after establishing attendance risk receiving a failing grade or being dropped by the instructor. To avoid penalties, students must formally withdraw before the published drop deadline through Campus Connection. A complete withdrawal requires submission of the Cancel/Withdraw to Zero form. Failure to properly withdraw may result in financial liability, loss of eligibility for activities, and poor academic standing.
For deadlines, refund details, and transcript implications, students should carefully review the Drop/Refund Schedule at ndscs.edu/refunds.
