Withdrawal Policy

Dropping a class after the drop/add period has ended is considered a Withdrawal. You may withdraw from a course after the add/drop period has ended with no grade penalty, however, you will not be eligible for a tuition refund and must still pay any outstanding balances owed to the college. You will receive a "W" grade for the course when you withdraw. If you wish to withdraw from a course, you must do so by the withdraw deadline that is published in the college Academic Calendar for that semester. This can be done via your MyDaytonaState student portal. 

Students who are reported as not attending during the two weeks leading up to the withdrawal date will be administratively withdrawn from the class and assigned a grade of “W1”. A last date of attendance will be reported and used to calculate the return of any Title IV aid (including Pell grant, Stafford Loans, etc.). 

Withdrawals are counted as an attempt for a course, Students are permitted a maximum of two withdrawals in the same course. Upon the third attempt in the same course, a student will not be permitted to withdraw and will be assigned a final grade other than "W" (withdrawal). Students who remain enrolled in courses after the withdrawal deadline has ended will be assigned a final grade in the course from the faculty member.
