Drop, Withdraw, or Appeal Courses

If you're taking a dual credit class and need to drop or withdraw, it's important to understand the difference between the two and to follow the correct deadlines.

For dual credit classes taken at your high school, you'll follow the Early College deadlines. You can drop your class online through DualEnroll until 5:00 p.m. on the Wednesday deadline listed on the Early College website. If you miss that deadline, you may still be able to withdraw, but different rules apply. See the section on withdrawals for more information.

Note: If you are taking a CSI class online or on campus (not through your high school), you'll need to follow the regular CSI academic calendar, which has different deadlines. Those deadlines are listed in the CSI Academic Catalog.

How to Drop a Course (before the deadline)

What Happens When You Drop a Class

If you decide early that a class isn't right for you, you can drop it by the drop deadline. This is also called "abandoning" a course.

  • Dropped classes do not appear on your college transcript

  • Any tuition charges will be refunded

  • You are still eligible for the full amount of Advanced Opportunity funding for future classes

  • You can drop a course online through your DualEnroll account

  • The deadline to drop is 5:00 p.m. on the Friday listed on the Dual Credit homepage

How to Drop a Class

  1. Log in to DualEnroll
  2. Click on the 'Status' tab found at the top
  3. Click on the 'Drop' hyperlink

If the drop option does not appear for the course you want to drop, please email dualcredit@csi.edu with the following information:

  • Full Name
  • CSI Student Number
  • Course Code and Section (e.g., ENGL 101 C01)

Our office will process the drop on your behalf. Emails missing any of the required information may result in delays or failure to process the drop.

How to Withdraw from a Course (after the deadline)

What Happens When You Withdraw

If you miss the drop deadline but still want to leave the class, you can withdraw-but there are some things to keep in mind:

  • A "W" grade will appear on your college transcript
  • You will not get a refund
  • You are considered to have attempted the class but not earned credit

How to Withdraw from a Class

You must withdraw before 75% of the class has passed. After that date, you cannot withdraw and you will receive a regular grade (A-F) for the class. To withdraw:

What Happens if You Get a W or F?

If you earn a W or F in a class paid for by Advanced Opportunities funding, your funding will be suspended. To get your funding back, you will need to:

  1. Pay out of pocket for your next course(s)

  2. Successfully complete those courses

For full details, visit the Advanced Opportunities webpage.

How to File an Appeal

Missed the Withdraw Deadline?

If you miss the deadline to add, drop, or withdraw from a class, you may still be able to request a change by submitting an Enrollment Appeal Form to the CSI Office of the Registrar.

  • Fill out the Enrollment Appeal form

  • Your appeal must include proof of extenuating circumstances, like a medical issue or emergency

  • Appeals without supporting documents will not be accepted
