Withdrawal from College

Prior to the end of the 12th week of instruction for semester-length classes, or 75 percent of the length of shorter term classes, a student may officially withdraw from classes online at www.hancockcollege.edu. Deadline dates are posted within the online class search feature.

Each student is responsible for dropping classes or withdrawing from College if they are unable to complete the course(s). Failure to do so may lead to a lower or failing grade in a course and an outstanding financial obligation. Students may drop classes or withdraw from College in accordance with the Dropping Classes/Withdrawing from College procedures outlined on the current AHC website. In addition, students may request reinstatement into a dropped class through the Reinstatement Procedures as outlined in the current College Catalog.

A student is responsible for dropping classes or withdrawing from College if they are unable to complete the course(s). Failure to officially drop a course or withdraw from the College may result in the student receiving an “F” in the course. Instructors will continue to be required to drop a student for “non-attendance” prior to Census class day, but after the Census day, students must drop classes/withdraw from College themselves. 

If you are receiving any financial aid other than the California College Promise Grant, dropping classes could result in the student repaying federal funds already received or could reduce future financial aid funding. It is recommended that you contact the financial aid office before dropping classes.

If you withdraw from all classes and are no longer enrolled for the semester, you may be required to repay funds to the federal government. You are not eligible to be paid for a class never attended including canceled classes or classes dropped before they began. You will only be paid for completed classes if payment is made after a semester has ended.
