Student Initiated Drops and Withdrawals

Students may drop a part of their course loads or withdraw from all classes anytime after they have registered and paid and until the last day to withdraw as documented in the Advising and Registration Guide. Students are strongly encouraged to visit with their instructor(s) before seriously considering dropping a course or withdrawing from school.

To accomplish the drop or withdrawal, specific procedures must be followed. Students should contact the Admissions and Records office on the Vernon campus or the Century City Center to begin the drop or withdrawal procedure. Students receiving Title IV financial aid funds must contact the Financial Aid Office concerning the calculation of return of funds before the drop or withdrawal will be completed.

Students voluntarily dropping or withdrawing within the first 75 percent of the semester will receive an automatic grade of “W” unless an administrative withdrawal has previously been processed by the College.

The Advising and Registration Guide should be used for drop and withdrawal dates.

The grade of “F” will be awarded for drops or withdrawals processed after the dates indicated in the Advising and Registration Guide unless an administrative withdrawal has previously been processed.

If a student is enrolled in a developmental class/program as a result of the Texas Success Initiative, the student may not drop the developmental class/program unless an approved alternative form of remediation is available and approved by the Dean of Instructional Services. Without an approved alternative form of remediation, dropping or being administratively withdrawn from all required developmental classes will be regarded as termination of enrollment at Vernon College.
