How-To Drop a Class or Withdraw from College

1. Using your Grayson College student email address, email the professor of the course you wish to drop.
2. In your email include:
   • your first, middle, and last name
   • your student ID
   • a way to contact you (i.e. Viking email, phone number or another email)
   • a brief description of why you are withdrawing
3. Your professor will then submit a drop request.
4. It will take a few days for the request to be finalized.

Example email template for withdrawing from a class:

Dear <PROFESSOR NAME>,

I would like to drop <CLASS NAME> because <OPTIONAL: REASON FOR DROPPING>

*If you plan on retaking the course at a later date you can also add that here ("I plan on retaking <CLASS NAME> next semester.")

Thank you for understanding,

Name: <FULL NAME>
Student ID: <STUDENT ID NUMBER>
Vikings Email address: <GRAYSON COLLEGE EMAIL>
Personal email address: <PERSONAL EMAIL>

1. For a full withdrawal from school, you must contact your Success Coach. Courses will not be dropped without your Success Coach's review and the appropriate approvals.
