Dropped Courses
Dropping a course is the student’s responsibility. The student must drop the course by providing written notice to the Registrar or online through the MSMC portal. A student who fails to attend a course before the add/drop period ends may receive a withdrawal (W) at the professor’s discretion.

Whether entirely withdrawing from the college or dropping an individual course(s), the student must provide written notice to the Registrar. The date of the withdrawal is determined by the date the request if received in the Registrar’s Office. Percentage refund dates are available in the Academic Calendar.
Any graduate student dropping below 9 credits (full-time status) risks losing full-time financial aid (institutional awards/grants/scholarships).
Students residing on campus must attend full-time. Traditional resident students enrolled in less than 9-credits must receive permission from Residence Life to remain in housing. The date a student completes the dorm checkout process determines the housing exit date. This includes returning room and mailbox keys to the Office of Residence Life.
