For the Spring 2024 Semester
Students wishing to drop a Fall Semester course prior to the last day to drop courses, Wednesday, March 4, may do so by logging into MyPack (mypack.ncsu.edu) > Student Homepage > Planning and Enrollment > Enrollment Wizard, click the “select” box next to the course you want to drop, click “Drop Selected Class,” and confirm your selection by clicking “finish dropping.”
For students wishing to drop a course after the drop/revision deadline, Wednesday, March 4, a schedule revision form is required. That form is also required if the student is dropping a course that results in the student moving from full-time to part-time status. The form is available at this website
Withdrawal Procedure
Students hoping to drop ALL the courses for which they are enrolled must officially withdraw from the University for the applicable term, unless they cancel their registration prior to the first day of classes. The withdrawal request must be submitted by the dates indicated in Engineering Online’s academic calendar, except in cases of documented hardship.
Note: Degree-seeking students who withdraw may be in violation of the University’s continuous enrollment policy for graduate students and can jeopardize their graduate student status. Contact the Director of Graduate Programs for your department to request an official leave of absence if you are not able to participate in the current semester.
Students dropping all courses must follow the procedures for withdrawal, which differ for degree seeking students and non-degree seeking students.
Refund for Withdrawal
Refund for Withdrawal Tuition and fee refunds for official withdrawals are prorated based on the schedule below. No refunds are made for official withdrawals after 50 percent of the enrollment period.
NOTE: An administrative fee of 5 percent of the total tuition and fee, and late registration fee charges not to exceed $100, will be charged for all withdrawals processed. This fee will post to your account after your withdrawal is processed.
