Dropping a Course
Requests to drop classes are processed through the Academic Advising Center. Students must officially drop in writing. These requests can be submitted via email to advising@nl.edu from your NLU portal email account or you can submit the Drop/Add form. Questions about dropping courses can be directed to 888-NLU-TODAY (658-8632) option 2.
Students who drop classes prior to the start of the term or during the first week of class will not be charged for the course(s). Students who are enrolled in workshops must drop the class at least one day prior to its scheduled start date to receive a tuition refund. If the request to drop the workshop is received after the course start date there will be no tuition refund.
After the first week of class, students who withdraw from a course(s) will receive a "W" grade and will not receive any tuition refund unless they completely withdraw from the University. Drop periods are set by University policy and are based on the student type and level. For more information regarding when a "W" grade applies, see the Grading section.
