Drop or Withdrawal

You can make changes to your schedule within the College's registration deadlines. Please check your Student Schedule for specific course drop and withdrawal dates. Changing your course schedule may affect financial aid, veterans’ benefits, international student status, academic standing, or athletic eligibility.

Students who are using VA Education benefits should contact Military & Veteran Services if any changes need to be made to a certified enrollment.

Before changing your schedule, talk to an advisor or counselor to see how these changes will affect you.

How to drop a class

You must drop a class before the official refund deadline. You will receive a refund and the class will be erased from your record. See our Refund Policy for more details.

If you drop a class after the refund deadline, you will not receive a refund and may be financially liable for tuition and fees.

Current students can view course-specific drop/refund deadlines in MyPima in the Student Schedule widget.

To drop a class:

1. Log into MyPima
2. Click on the Registration tab, then select “Register/Drop/Withdraw”
3. Choose “Register for Classes”
4. Select the appropriate Term
5. In the Schedule Summary, select “DROP” for the class you would like to remove from your schedule
6. Click Submit

Please note that Pima reserves the right to drop unpaid registrations. Dropping unwanted classes remains the student’s responsibility.

How to withdraw 

You will receive a grade of “W” (official withdrawal) on your academic record for any classes removed from your schedule after the drop/refund deadline has passed. You will not receive a refund for a class from which you withdraw. Withdrawing won’t affect your GPA, but will impact your course completion rate.

Withdrawing from a course may affect your academic standing or your Satisfactory Academic Progress. We recommend speaking with an advisor or counselor to determine your best course of action.

To withdraw from a class:

1. Log into MyPima
2. Click on the Registration tab, then select “Register/Drop/Withdraw”
3. Choose “Register for Classes”
4. Select the appropriate Term
5. In the Schedule Summary, select “Web WITHDRAWAL” for the class you would like to remove from your schedule
6. Click Submit

If you do not follow the withdrawal procedure, you may receive a failing grade.
