Breaks of five or more days will be excluded from the 14-day attendance count.
If you stop attending class and fail to drop or withdraw officially, you will not be automatically withdrawn. If you do not officially withdraw, your grades will be recorded as "F" for that course regardless of the grade average at the time you last attended, which will affect your GPA and may cause other problems.
Drop: Removing oneself from a course before the end of the add/drop period. A drop does not appear on a transcript, does not count as an attempt for a class, and grants a 100% refund of tuition fees.
After the course withdrawal date, the college will assign a grade of WF (Withdrawn Failing).
We recommend students speak with an advisor and a financial aid officer before dropping or withdrawing from courses. These actions could affect you in many ways, including financial aid and student housing.
Drop: This action is valid when dropping a course before the end of the add/drop period. A drop does not appear on a transcript, does not count as an attempt on a class, and grants a 100% refund of tuition fees.
The student will receive a grade of "W." Withdrawals from courses appear on your transcript permanently but do not impact your GPA. They do, however, count as an attempt. Greenville Technical College gives a student three attempts to successfully complete a course, so do not treat withdrawals lightly.
