What Happens When You Drop or Withdraw From A Class?

There are many things to consider prior to moving forward with dropping a class. Please see the following list of items and make sure that you are aware of everything you may need to take care of as you drop or withdraw from a class(es).

Academic & Financial

Impact on degree plan:   Will dropping or withdrawing from this class delay your degree plan?  Check with your Academic Advisor to determine what if any impact you may experience.

Tuition & Course Fee Charge:  Are you eligible for a refund?  Check the Academic Calendar for refund deadlines for full-16 week courses or  click here for classes shorter than a full 16- week semester: non-standard refund dates or check your class in KSIS by viewing Refund/Drop Dates

Transcript Impact:  How will this course(s) show up on your transcript after you drop or withdraw?  Depending on when you drop and your program, there can be a record on your official transcript.  Review the Academic Calendar for key deadline dates.

Financial Aid

Dropping/Withdrawing below full-time status: Could negatively impact grand and/or scholarship aid and may require you to replay some or all of the aid you've received so far for the semester.  Check with the Office of Student Financial Assistance

Dropping/Withdrawing below half-time status:  Could negatively impact federal student loan aid and require you start repayment of any existing student loans.  Check with the Office of Student Financial Assistance

Dropping/Withdrawing ANY Coursework: Will negatively impact your Satisfactory Academic Progress, meaning you may lose eligibility for federal or institutional aid in future semesters.  Check with the Office of Student Financial Assistance

Departmental & Outside Scholarships or Loans:  Many scholarships and private student loans have minimum enrollment requirements.  Check with the awarding department, organizaiton, or lender before dropping/withdrawing from coursework.  

Housing

Canceling housing contract: Just like canceling a rental agreement early, there are financial penalties charged for canceling your housing contract early.  Check with Housing and Dining Services for additional information. 

Other Considerations

Dependent Student Health Insurance: If you are on your parent's health insurance policy as a dependent, there may be a negative impact for falling below full-time enrollment.  Check with your insurance provider for details.

Employer Tuition Assistance:  if you, your spouse's, or your parent's employer provides tuition assistance, changing your enrollment status could impact your eligibility.  Contact the employer's benefits department for details. 

Veteran/GI Bill® Benefits:  If you recieve educational assistance as either a veteran, transfer of entitlement/dependent, or current service member, changing your enrollment status could have a negative impact on your benefits.  For help, start with your Military Tuition Assistance or Veteran Education Benefits Offices for assistance. 

International Students: If you are an international student in F-1 or J-1 status, you MUST get permission from International Student and Scholar Services, BEFORE dropping/withdrawing below full-time in order to maintain legal status.

NCAA Division I Athlete: If you are a K-State NCAA Division I Athlete you MUST discuss the impact on your athletic eligibility by  dropping/withdrawing from a course(s).  Talk with your Athletic Academic Sport Counselor for assistance.
