Drop

A student who wishes to drop a class and potentially receive a refund must officially do so using myHCC or in person at the office of records, registration, and veterans' affairs (RRVA) during the specified period of time. A section may only be dropped during the first twenty percent of its duration. Information about the refund period is published in myHCC. The percent of refund depends upon the date that the section starts and the date it is officially dropped. Classes that are dropped do not appear on the academic transcript. Drop periods are shorter for classes that have fewer meeting dates, and for late-starting classes. See Refunds for more information.

All students are strongly urged to consult with an academic advisor before making academic decisions. Additional procedures prior to dropping are required of the following students:

  • Students receiving financial aid and scholarships – Students receiving financial aid and scholarships must inform Financial Aid Services.
  • International (F1) students – International (F1) students must receive consent from an international student advisor.
  • Active duty service members, veterans, and their dependents – Students using veterans education benefits or tuition assistance must notify RRVA when dropping sections. Failure to do so may result in overpayment from the Veterans Administration or Department of Defense.
