Student Add/Drop and Withdrawals

Add/Drop

Each semester, students can sign up for ("add") or remove ("drop") classes during the add/drop period. Students can add or drop courses in myMCC or in the Registration and Records Office at the Brighton Campus (Building 6, Room 203) or the Downtown Campus (2nd Floor, Room 210).

Withdrawals

Withdrawing means officially leaving an individual class after the add/drop period, but before 80% of the course has been completed. "Complete withdrawal," on the other hand, lets a student withdraw from all courses in a semester until the last day of classes (aka the Friday before finals week). After a complete withdrawal, the student must reapply to MCC to return.

There are many reasons why a student might need or want to withdraw. Before doing so, the student should connect with advisors in Academic Advisement and Counseling Services. They can go over options, especially since withdrawing can affect financial aid, athletics eligibility, and veteran's benefits. Students are responsible for 100% of tuition after the drop/add period.

Instructors cannot withdraw students. Students can withdraw in myMCC or in person at the Brighton Campus (Building 6, Room 203) or the Downtown Campus (2nd Floor, Room 210).

In cases of catastrophic illness, injury, or medical event requiring hospitalization that prevents a student from withdrawing before the end of the semester, the student may request a withdrawal from the College through the Office of Health Services. Medical documentation is required within 20 working days beyond the completion of the semester unless there are extraordinary circumstances.
