Adding or Dropping Courses
Before adding or withdrawing from one or more classes, students should consult an academic advisor and the Welcome Center if using financial aid. The financial aid status of any student may be affected by withdrawing from one or more classes. Current or returning students must have a 2.0 cumulative grade point average to add or drop a course online.
A student who registers for 12 or more credit hours is considered full-time. A student who registers for 11 credit hours or less is considered part time. Students may withdraw online, in person or by phone.
To withdraw from a full term course:
- Withdraw during the first eight (8) calendar days of the term for 100% tuition refund and no record of the class on the transcript.
- Withdrawal later than the first eight (8) calendar days, but prior to the Friday of the thirteenth week of the fall and spring term; and prior to the Friday of the tenth week of the summer term, results in no refund and a grade of "W" on the permanent record.
- Courses that are not full term in length have special deadlines. Students should check their term statement or the Registration Calendar at: www.sinclair.edu/registration-calendar
In order to complete the Add/Drop/Withdrawal Form visit the Welcome Center, Dayton Campus, or any regional center.
