• There's a difference between "dropping" a course and "withdrawing" from a course at LCCC.
• Dropping is when a student cancels a course during the Drop/Add time frame and a full refund is returned to the student.  It is only permitted during the published registration period for traditional courses and before the start of class meeting for non-traditional courses.  (Non-traditional courses are courses that begin at dates other than the beginning of a semester.)
• Withdrawing from a course means the student no longer wants to attend class and receive a grade and is accomplished after the Drop/Add period has passed.  Students must officially withdraw from the course and may do so through the published date in the academic calendar for traditional classes.  No refund is returned to the student (except with a fee petition for extenuating circumstances).  These classes also count as an attempt in assessing full cost of tuition charges for the third or subsequent attempt at a course.  For minimester classes, the last day to withdraw is at the midpoint of the mini-mester.  (Call the Registrar's Office at 754-4205 for specific dates for withdrawals from minimester classes.)
• An Add/Drop form is used for all of the above transactions.  An advisor's signature is required for all of these transactions. The instructor's signature is also needed on the Add/Drop form in the case of an audit or a for a withdrawal after the deadline for student-initiated withdrawal.

• Being in the State of Florida for 12 months does not automatically make one eligible for "resident" status for tuition purposes.  In fact Florida State law stipulates that residing in the State for a year for educational purposes is not reason enough to qualify a student for residency status.  For more information regarding the state guidelines for reclassification of residency for tuition purposes, please contact the Registrar's Office in Building 15.
