After the First Day of Class: Before 60% of the class has been completed

NWTC puts a 2 business day hold on class drop requests for credit courses between 20-60% of the course completion time.

  1. The student requests to drop a class via the Student Portal or with Admissions & Enrollment. The student indicates the reason for the drop request.
  2. The drop request will be put on hold for 2 business days. Students can check their MyMail student email for additional information.
  3. Appropriate faculty/staff will reach out to the student to discuss options with the student before the drop is finalized.
    1. If faculty/staff receive no response from the student or the student decides to continue with the drop request, the course will be dropped with the date the original drop request was made. A ‘Withdraw (W)’ grade will be posted.
    2. If the student decides to remain in the class, Admissions & Enrollment will be notified by staff/faculty, and the drop request will be canceled.
  4. If a student drops a class during the refund period, a refund adjustment may be posted to their account. If students receive financial aid, veteran’s funding, or agency assistance, it is their responsibility to notify the appropriate office to verify potential repayment of funds. If the student is a financial aid recipient or receives funding from other sources, please be advised that changes to enrollment may affect current and future eligibility.​

Extenuating Circumstances: After 60% of the class has been completed

Students wishing to appeal the grade earned after the 60% date of class must provide documentation of extenuating circumstances. 

  • If the class has been completed and a grade has been assigned, including a NS (no show), the class drop form cannot be used. Please contact Admissions & Enrollment for further assistance.
  • A Class Drop Grade Appeal Form must be completed, stating the reason for the drop.
  • The instructor is not required to approve the class drop. If the instructor denies the request, it is not necessary to proceed further.
  • If approved by the instructor or Dean/ Associate Dean (whenever the instructor is not present), a grade of “W” will then be assigned. There will be no refund after the 60% class completion.

For detailed instructions, see the Class Drop Grade Appeal Form.

AFTER 60% OF THE CLASS HAS PASSED: Online Students can request class drop authorization via email (no form needed) to their instructor. The request must include your student ID#, academic term, class #, and supporting documentation of your extenuating circumstances.
