Course Drops and Adds

Students can drop a course or withdraw with a grade of W or WF via my.sc.edu.  Deadlines for dropping a course without receiving a W and WF, as well as refund dates, are determined by the part of term to which a course is attached.

Every part of term during a semester has a drop/add deadline.

Withdrawal

Should you wish to withdraw from a course with a grade of W or WF, a grade of W or WF will be recorded on your transcript. A grade of W will not be calculated in your GPA, but will be recorded on your permanent record.

Courses dropped after the WF deadline will be recorded as a WF on your permanent record. The grade of WF is treated as an F in the calculation of your GPA. The WF deadline will vary based on the part of term for your class.

Considerations

Financial Aid

If you receive any financial aid loans or scholarships, you should contact the Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships and speak with a counselor prior to withdrawing from courses.
