Students who decide to withdraw from a course must do so officially in accordance with the established Semester Withdrawal Schedule as published on the Middlesex College website. Failure to attend a class does not constitute a withdrawal. Students who wish to officially withdraw from a course are required to adhere to College withdrawal deadlines, policies and procedures.
Students planning to withdraw from courses should note the following:
PRIOR TO THE FIRST DAY OF CLASS AND THROUGH THE FIRST 10 DAYS OF THE SEMESTER IN WHICH THE COURSE IS SCHEDULED:
Withdrawing from a course at this time has no effect on the Grade Point Average, and the course is not recorded on students’ permanent academic record.

A grade of “W” will appear on students’ permanent academic record. The dropped course will be designated as having been taken one time according to the Repeated Course requirement. The withdrawal period ends two-thirds through the regular full semester.
