I Think That I Need to Withdraw From a Class...Now What?

• Are you falling behind in a class?
• Did you decide to change your major and therefore don’t feel that you need a particular class anymore?
• Are you struggling with the material or having difficulty with your instructor?

These are among some of the reasons why you might choose to withdraw from a class.  If you have taken the time to really think about your decision to withdraw, and still feel it is necessary or in your best interest, there is a process you must follow.

Take the following into consideration before you decide to withdraw:

• Courses that you withdraw from will be indicated on your Cortland transcript with a X.  There will be no explanation of why you withdrew or a grade associated with the class.
• There may be financial implications if you fall below 12 credit hours.  If you are receiving financial aid you must continue to make satisfactory academic progress toward your degree.  Make sure to speak with a financial aid advisor for more information.
• Courses that you are taking may have different credit hours.  Be careful when tallying your credits.
• The withdrawal deadline is Tuesday, November 15.  Have all paperwork completed and turned in by this date.  The official withdrawal from course form requires signatures by you, your academic advisor, the course instructor, and finally your associate dean.
• Give yourself enough time to obtain the appropriate signatures.  Once the deadline has passed, you will not be permitted to withdraw from the course.

Mid-Semester is Almost Here!

What Are Mid-Semester Estimates?
Is it hard to believe that you’re already almost half way through the semester?!  How are you doing in your classes?  Do you have a class that you are concerned about?  Have you been considering withdrawing from a class due to concerns about your performance?  Are you worried about your GPA? 

Mid-semester estimates will soon be posted by faculty on myRedDragon.  You will not receive a paper copy of your midterm grades in the mail.  You are responsible for logging  into myRedDragon to check your grades.  Mid-semester estimates can be found under the Registrar channel on the left hand side of your Student Tab .  When you check your mid-semester estimates you will see one of  three letters indicating your performance:

“S” = satisfactory
“U” = unsatisfactory
“F” = failing

If you see a “NR” that means that your instructor didn’t submit a grade in time to meet the deadline.  Make sure to ask your professor if this happens. If you have received an unsatisfactory grade and are concerned about it, make an appointment to see your professor or seek help through ASAP.

Don't forget about your Transfer Buddy.  If you have a question or concern, just ask!
