Drop a Class

If you need to drop a class, you can do so online, by phone, or in person. Contact the staff in the admissions, registration, and records office for help with this process. 

Deadline to Drop a Class

Students may drop a class with a full refund through the first Sunday of the term (or equivalent for non-standard length classes). Students may withdraw from a class without a refund through the Friday of the seventh week of the term. After the seventh week, students may officially withdraw from all classes, but may not withdraw from just one class unless they are only enrolled in one class.

Refunds for Dropping a Class

Please note that once you have registered, you are obligated to pay tuition and any fees for your class. Refunds can be granted if you drop the class within the refund period. 

The refund deadline is the first Sunday of the term (or the equivalent for non-standard length classes). Tuition and fee charges will be removed from classes dropped by the refund deadline and the class will not be recorded on your MHCC transcript.

Non-attendance is not a basis for a refund or non-payment of tuition. If you sign a deferment of payments, you are still liable for paying tuition and fees in the agreed-upon time unless you drop the class within the refund period.

 MHCC will place a financial hold on your student account for any overdue tuition and fee charges. This hold will block any future registration until the debt is paid in full.

Grade Changes

When you officially drop a class after the refund period, you will be given a “W” for “withdrawn” instead of a grade. This is not your grade but rather an indicator that you have withdrawn from the course.

Dropping a Class with Veterans’ Benefits

If you are a student receiving veterans’ benefits, you must notify the veterans’ office of your intention to withdraw. Failure to do so may result in overpayment which will need to be returned to the Veterans Administration.

Course Cancellations

Course cancellations by MHCC will result in a 100 percent refund if a refund is due.

Withdrawing from College

An official withdrawal from MHCC is when a student drops all classes. The deadline for withdrawal is the last day of instruction before final exams. To withdraw, you must do so online, by mail, by phone, or in person with the staff in the admissions, registration, and records office. Email the admissions office with questions or call 503-491-7393.

If students withdraw by the first Sunday of the term (or the equivalent for non-standard length classes), tuition and fees are removed, and the classes won't show on the MHCC transcript.

If students withdraw after the first Sunday of the term (or the equivalent for non-standard length classes), tuition and fees stay, and a "W" is given instead of a grade by the admissions, registration, and records office. "W" is not a grade but an indication of course withdrawal.

You can't withdraw from classes that have ended (non-standard length classes), even if the instructor hasn't graded the class yet.
