Dropping or Withdrawing From Classes
A student who wishes to reduce, but not entirely eliminate, his or her credit load may drop a course or courses via Student Planning. If you have a hold on your account, email troyrecords@troy.edu, montgomeryrecords@troy.edu, or dothanrecords@troy.edu from your TROY email address. Make sure to include your ID number, as well as the course or courses you wish to drop.
The last day to drop courses without academic or financial penalty is generally the Monday after classes begin. If that date is a holiday, the add/drop date will be pushed to the next day. After the add/drop date, you are financially responsible for the course/s. The last day to drop a course without academic penalty, but with financial obligation, will be assigned for each term or semester based on 65% completion of the length of the course. Dates will be published on the Academic Calendar web page. The 65% rule also applies to international teaching locations.
If you want to drop all courses, even if it is only one course, this would constitute a withdrawal. You will need to submit a withdrawal form, which can be found at Withdrawal Form. Withdrawing from a term or semester does not withdraw you from TROY entirely; it simply allows you to withdraw from the current term or semester. The drop dates apply to withdrawing, as well.
Dropping Classes Via Student Planning
To drop classes, log in to Self-Service, go to Student Planning, click on Plan & Schedule, navigate to the term or semester in which you need to drop a course, and click drop on the course. A box will appear with all of your classes for that term or semester. If you wish to drop any other courses, mark each course that you would like to drop. You will then select update. If you do not see a drop button, please check for holds on your account. If you have a hold, email troyrecords@troy.edu, montgomeryrecords@troy.edu, or dothanrecords@troy.edu from your TROY email address. Make sure to include your ID number, as well as the course or courses you wish to drop.
