Information
Essentially withdrawing and dropping complete the same function – removing you from a class. The biggest difference between withdrawing and dropping is tuition refunds, and how it affects your transcript.
  • Dropping: You will receive a full tuition refund, and will not receive a “W” (which stands for withdraw on your transcript)
  • Withdrawing: You will receive a prorated tuition refund to no refund, and you will receive a “W” on your transcript  
For more information about tuition see sec 3
