Dropping or Withdrawing from Classes
Students are considered enrolled in classes until an official request is made by the student to drop or withdraw from classes via student self-service or in person. Students who are enrolled in class(es) at MPTC are responsible for all tuition and fees.
Dropping and/or withdrawing from classes may affect your financial aid or veteran benefits. It is the student’s responsibility to check with the financial aid office when considering dropping/withdrawing from classes as students may be required to repay funds received.
Failure to comply with the dropping and/or withdrawal from classes procedure may result in a failing grade and/or negatively affect future registration or financial aid eligibility. Non-notification of withdrawal does not absolve an individual’s responsibility for tuition & fee payments.
On rare occasions an exception for legitimate extenuating circumstances may be made at the discretion of the Appeals Committee. Extenuating circumstances are those situations outside of a student’s control (see Late Withdrawal Procedure and/or Tuition Refund Appeal Procedure for examples).
