2024-2025 Student Handbook

Withdrawal Policy

Students may officially withdraw from their courses with a W grade up through the 75% point of the course.  It is the student's responsibility to know the dates.  During the semester, because of holidays, the withdraw date could land on a Saturday or Sunday.  If that happens, students or faculty can only withdraw the class using the Self Service card in myDACC since DACC offices are closed.

Students should always check with Financial Aid and their Counselor before withdrawing from a class to determine the impact.

The deadline is based on the class start and end dates.  Please note, refunds are NOT given for withdrawals.

Please remember that it is the student's responsibility to withdraw themselves from any classes using the Self Service card in myDACC or through the Admissions and Counseling offices.

Non-attendance does not automatically withdraw a student from a class.  It is the student’s responsibility to withdraw one’s self.  Students should contact the Admissions & Records Office or their Academic Advisor/Counselor by phone or in-person to officially withdraw.  If receiving financial aid, students are encouraged to seek counseling prior to withdrawing from coursework, as their financial aid may be affected.  Failure to do so may result in the student owing refunds to Federal and/or State programs and result in restrictions for future student aid.  Owing a debt to the school results in restrictions for future enrollment.  Student athletes should also consult with their coach before withdrawing.
