The drop deadlines for classes vary depending on the length of the class. It is the student’s responsibility who wishes to withdraw from a class to do so by the deadline dates published in the most recent Catalog, Schedule of Classes, and the website.
Withdrawal Prior to Census (20% of instruction): Students who withdraw or are withdrawn from weekly census sections prior to census (or 20% of the instructional time frame for all other section accounting methods) shall have no notation made to the permanent record. Students can drop courses via the CVC Exchange up until the last date to drop with a “W”.
Withdrawal 20% - 75% of Instruction: Students who withdraw or are withdrawn from weekly census sections on or after census (or 20% of the instructional time frame for all other section accounting methods) and through the end of the fourteenth week (or 75% of the instructional time frame) shall have a “W” posted to the permanent record. Students can drop courses via the CVC Exchange up until the last date to drop with a “W”.
Withdrawal after the 75% of course contact hours cannot be processed as the permanent record must reflect a grade other than a "W". If there are circumstances beyond the student's control a request for Excused Withdrawal may be considered.
