Withdrawals

During the Change of Program period which is the first week of classes, students may make program changes. Students are now able to drop a course online until the ninth week of the term (this will be a withdrawal from the course).  The student can drop the course(s) online until the end of the third week of classes. There will be a transaction fee applied if a student adds or drops the course(s) once the semester begins; please refer to www.ccny.cuny.edu/bursar for fee information. Refer to the academic calendar posted on the College’s website (www.ccny.cuny.edu) for pertinent dates. The Add/Drop form is only required when special permission is required. The form must be signed by an academic advisor (additional signatures may be required), and return to the Registrar’s Office.  

After the Change of Program period, and prior to the ninth week of classes, students may officially drop courses using CUNY First. Some divisions require that students obtain advisement before dropping a course. A grade of "WN" is assigned by the Instructor to students who never attended and did not officially withdraw.

A student may withdraw from a course by logging into their CUNYfirst account and withdrawing from the course.  A grade of W will be assigned to courses that are withdrawn from between the fourth and ninth week.  The grade of "W" is assigned only when the student has officially withdrawn from the course.  Any student who fails to attend a course for a significant part of the semester may be given the grade of WU by the instructor.

Please consult the academic calendar for all deadlines.
