When a student removes a course prior to the Drop Deadline, there will be no penalty and no record of ever having been enrolled in the course on the on the academic record. 

To drop a course, students must complete the following steps:

1. Complete the Registration Form (bottom "Courses to be Dropped" section only).

Steps to Withdraw

Courses removed after the Drop Deadline are considered a Withdrawal. Students can withdraw from a course until the Withdraw Deadline for the term. See the Academic Calendar for a full list of dates and deadlines. After the Withdraw Deadline, a student cannot remove a course from their schedule.

Please note: Withdrawing from a course will not negatively impact the GPA. However, the grade of "W" will reflect on the college transcript/student record. Withdrawing from courses may also negatively impact the student's ability to receive Federal Financial Aid in the future. A grade of "W4" can be administered by the faculty member for "no-show" and does count as an attempt.

To withdraw from a course, the student must:

2. Submit the completed form (in person) to a Student Services Specialist on any Seminole State College campus prior to the deadline as stated in the Academic Calendar.
