Course Withdrawal Process
Fall 2026 Student Deadline: Tuesday, December 1st
Spring 2027 Student Deadline: Tuesday, April 27th
All Students: Students must understand that withdrawing from a course will result in a grade of WD on their transcript. Students must also understand that progress toward degree completion is likely to be impacted by the loss of credits and that there could be a negative impact on their financial aid. All students remain bound by the College’s graduation requirement of a minimum of 120 earned credits. Normally, students are permitted to withdraw from one course only per semester.
Scholarship Students: If you are a scholarship recipient (St. Catherine, St. Joseph, Albertus Magnus, St. Rose Transfer, Harkins, Roddy, New York Alumni, Forand, Fenwick, Nagle, Sr. Gail Himrod, Boyko, MLK, St. Juan Macias, Cunningham, and Stride Family), you must maintain full-time enrollment status (12 credits per semester). Please discuss this matter with your assigned advisor before you make the decision to withdraw.
Student Athletes, International Students or ROTC Students: If you are a student athlete, international student, or ROTC cadet, you must obtain additional approval, as withdrawing from a course can adversely affect your status.
Course Instructor Acknowledgment: Students should always confirm course withdrawal with their class instructor via email or in person. Course instructors reserve the right to deny course withdrawal requests where there are breaches of academic integrity.
