Q&A: What is the difference between dropping a class and withdrawing from a class?

Dropping a course will show no record of course enrollment on your transcript and may result in tuition & fees being refunded for the dropped course.

Withdrawing from a course will show a "W" on your transcript but will not be calculated into your GPA. Withdrawing will not result in a refund and will affect your 'pass rate' in Satisfactory Academic Progress

Pay close attention to each semesters add/drop/withdraw deadlines to determine whether a course will result in a drop or withdraw.
