Withdrawal from a College Course(s )

Students who withdraw from either the College or a particular course must initiate such action in the Office of the Registrar. Failure to attend class or providing informal notification to instructors will not be considered official notice of withdrawal.
A student may withdraw from the College (all courses) at any time prior to the first day of final examinations. Withdrawals initiated during the 75% refund period result in deletion of the course(s) from the record. Withdrawals initiated after the 75% refund period result in the appearance of the individual courses on the student's transcript with grades of "W".
A student may withdraw from an individual course either during the 75% refund period, in which case the course will not appear on the transcript, or from the second week through the ninth week withdrawal deadline, in which case the course will appear on the transcript with a grade of "W". A student may be administratively withdrawn by the College for lack of attendance.
Students receiving Financial Aid can affect their aid eligibility for the semester they are currently in and for semesters further down the road if they withdraw from classes. 

• Withdrawals between the 100% refund period through the 25% refund period can change a student’s financial aid award for the semester they are currently attending.

• Withdrawing from a class after the 25% refund period does not change a student’s financial aid for the semester they are currently attending, but they will be charged the full amount for the class from which they are withdrawing. 

• Withdrawing from a class after the 75% refund period will result with a W on a student’s transcript which can affect a student’s federal financial aid.  Please click on this link to see DCC’s Federal Satisfactory Academic Progress Chart.

• For TAP & APTS a W can affect a student’s TAP or APTS award for the following semester.  Please click on this link to see NYS TAP/APTS Satisfactory Academic Progress Chart.
