Withdrawal
When a student determines that he/she will be unable to complete courses in which he/she is currently enrolled, it is the student’s responsibility to initiate procedures leading to a formal withdrawal (“W”) in order to avoid a failing (“F”) grade. To receive a “W” grade, a student must withdraw before the last 25% of the academic term. (New Policy-Beginning Fall 2008, to receive a "W" grade, a student must withdraw before the first 35% of the class). Withdrawal transactions can be done on CHRIS the telephone registration system at 704/330-6970 or online at mycollege.cpcc.edu. Choose the "Drop or Add Classes" option from the menu presented to you by either method. If you prefer, come in-person during business hours to any CPCC campus. An instructor may also assign “W” at other times when circumstances warrant such action.
In general, for financial aid students, a “W” will remain on the transcript and will count as credit hours attempted. To receive credit, a student who received a “W” must re-register and pay for the course in a subsequent term. Financial aid recipients need to refer to the financial aid satisfactory progress policy to determine if schedule adjustments will affect financial aid. Final dates for withdrawing are published each term in the CPCC Class Schedule and are available on this website.
The current refund policy allows a 100% refund of tuition paid for curriculum classes dropped prior to the first day of the academic term. A 75% refund is issued for curriculum classes dropped on or after the first day of the term through the 10% point of term. Tuition paid and applicable fees will be refunded 100% for classes cancelled by the College.
Any student considering completely withdrawing should come by the Financial Aid Office in the Central High Building, Room 206, to inquire about the Return of Federal Funds before starting the withdrawal process.
