(Dropping a Course after the Refund Deadline/Census)
Withdrawal occurs when a student requests to drop a course after the refund deadline (also referred to as census) for the term/course. The course will count in Attempted Hours (AHRS). Faculty is required to provide the last date of attendance for each student who is assigned this grade.
Withdrawal Grades (Student Initiated ‘W’ grade)
Students may initiate an official withdrawal from a course or courses at any time within the first eighty percent (80%) of the course length by dropping online after the refund deadline listed for the course in their My MCC account.
- Students who initiate a drop from a course or courses during the first 15% of a course will not have grades entered on a permanent academic record.
- Students withdrawing from a course or courses after the first 15% of the course (refund deadline for a course), but within the first 80% of a course, will have a grade of "W" Withdrawal paced on their academic records.
- Students can initiate their own withdrawal by requesting a withdrawal online on their MyMCC account.
Faculty Initiated Withdrawal of a Student/Last Date of Attendance
Faculty is required to provide the last date of attendance for each student who is awarded an "F" grade. In addition, if faculty assign a "W" Withdrawal grade, then last date of attendance is also required.
Administrative Withdrawal (WX, WD)
A "WX" or “WD” grade is assigned by the college when a student has been withdrawn administratively. No academic credit is awarded. The course will count in attempted hours. WX means the student was administratively withdrawn through appeal, no fault, etc. WD means the student was administratively withdrawn for cause.
