How-To Drop a Course/Withdraw from Classes

NOTE: If you wish to drop a course or withdraw from all courses, you should contact your Success Coach first.You can locate your Success Coach's contact information in your MyViking Student Planner.

How-to drop one course:

1. Email the professor of the course you wish to drop from your Grayson College student email.

• 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

2. Your professor will then need to submit a drop request.

3. It will take a few days for the request to be finalized

Here is an 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 have to contact your Success Coach. Courses will not be dropped without your Success Coach's review and the appropriate approvals.
