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

- Go to MyNCTC and drop the course
- Visit the Admissions/Registrar's Office in person to fill out a drop form

All course withdrawals must be requested on or before the posted withdrawal deadline. Please refer to the Academic Calendar for the withdrawal deadline for each semester. 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 - 48 hours. The student should receive an email confirmation that the withdrawal has been processed.

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 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.
