Students may drop classes until Stop Day (the Friday preceding finals week) in a regular 16-week semester. For shorter sessions (e.g., 8-week) or off-schedule programs (e.g., Health Sciences), the last day to drop typically falls on the Friday preceding the last class meeting day, but dates may vary. Students should follow the dates designated within the College’s academic calendar for these courses and programs. Students are strongly encouraged to maintain the student copy of the drop email for their records and to check what impact dropping the class may have on completion of degree requirements as well as eligibility for financial aid, health insurance benefits, veteran’s benefits, scholarships, etc.

Students wishing to drop courses may submit the Drop Request Form in myMACC or meet with an academic advisor. Enrollment dates are listed on the MACC Academic Calendar.

You will owe tuition and fees unless you officially drop within the add/drop period specific to your class. Failing to attend a class, ceasing to attend a class, or calling the college does not constitute an official drop. Official transcripts will reflect courses dropped after Census as “W”. Failing to attend a class, ceasing to attend a class, or calling the College does not constitute an official drop.
