Drop or Withdraw from a Course
Dropping a course is done before the official date of record each semester. Please note, a drop on or after the official date of record is no longer considered a drop, but a withdrawal. The official date of record is cited in NCTC's Academic Calendar
How to Drop a Course
To drop a course, a student can do any of the following.
- Go to MyNCTC and drop the course
- Visit the Admissions/Registrar's Office in person to fill out a drop form
- Meet with your advisor and fill out a drop form
How to Withdraw from a Course
To Withdraw from a course after the official date of record and before the Withdraw deadline stated in the Academic Calendar a student can do any of the following.
- Go to MyNCTC and submit the Course Withdrawl Request on the Student Services tab
- Visit the Admissions/Registrar's Office in person to fill out a Withdrawl form
- Meet with an advisor and fill out a Withdraw form
If a student receives financial aid, they should contact the Financial Aid office before withdrawing.
All withdrawls must be processed on or before the official date of record. If paper requests are not signed or do not include all information, it may not be processed.
Online Requests
If the Admissions/Registrar's Office should receive the request online, the form will be processed within 24 hours. The student should receive an email confirmation that the withdrawal has been processed. If the student does not receive an email, it is the student’s responsibility to contact the Admissions/Registrar’s Office for confirmation. The student is responsible for verifying the email was received by the Admissions/Registrar's Office prior to the last day to withdrawal.
It is the student's responsibility to officially withdraw from any course they do not wish to attend. Any student who stops attending classes and who does not officially withdrawal may be assigned a final grade of "F".
Dual Credit Students
Dual Credit students must complete the Dual Credit Withdraw form and submit it to the Dual Credit Office. All petitions are maintained and processed through Admissions/Registrar’s Office.
