IMPORTANT: Students are highly encouraged to meet with an Academic Advisor to discuss possible consequences of dropping a course(s).

Financial Aid Recipients: For information about how dropping a course could impact your financial aid, visit a Financial Aid Advisor or visit the Attendance and Earning Financial Aid web page.

Courses dropped after the 100% refund period, for each term, will be recorded as a withdrawal ('W' grade) on the student's official transcript and will affect the student’s completion rate at DMACC
