The deadline to add or drop classes is Monday, Sept. 6. Dropping a class before its deadline can help your grade point average. The importance of keeping a class or dropping is crucial with maintaining a healthy G.P.A but also your financial aid status.

Dropping a class by the deadline could save students later on in their college journey. During this deadline, students won’t receive a “W” which means withdrawing from a class on your records.

While dropping a class with a “W” does not affect your grade point average or your transcripts. It will show a “W‘ which means withdrawn from that class.

As opposed to dropping after the deadline and receiving a “C or D” which then may affect not only G.P.A but also financial aid qualifications or eligibility transfers to the University of choice.
