Course withdrawals (“W” grades) begin on the sixth day of the term, unless noted otherwise in the course schedule. For late start/fast track courses, withdrawals begin two days after the first scheduled date. The last day to withdraw date varies; it displays on students’ online schedules and on the course search details. You may qualify for a refund during the refund period if you withdraw from all classes (see the Refund Policies page for details).

Classes that you have withdrawn from become part of your permanent record and will appear on your transcript.

*Instructors signatures are not required within the withdrawal deadline.

• You should withdraw after you stop attending a course or you will likely receive a grade of “F” or “FW” (faculty withdrawal)
• If you withdraw after 20 days, you can visit until final exam week with the instructor’s approval
• Withdrawals do not influence GPA, but negatively impact academic progress

If extenuating circumstances prevent you from withdrawing by the deadline, you may fill out a Late Withdrawal Petition form online, in the Business Office, Room 2340, West Campus or Records Office, Room 2220, West Campus. Additional documentation may be required. Please see Refund Policies page under Exceptions for the form.

Important: There are four ways you can add, drop or withdraw from a course:

• Login to the eServices: Go to “Courses & Registration” - to add, go to “Search for a Course.” To drop/withdraw, go to “View/Modify Schedule.”
• Fill out the Course Change Form online.
• In-person at the Records Office with your StarID or student ID.
• A written request with your signature by U.S. mail received before the deadline.

Please note: A telephone message request is not considered a valid processing method.

Since withdrawing from a class can impact your academic progress, we recommend that you consult with a Century College advisor/counselor before your make your final decision. Poor academic progress may lead to academic probation and eventually suspension. It may also impact your financial aid. Please familiarize yourself with the Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid Policy and Procedure.

There is no refund for partial withdrawal. The student must withdraw from all classes to receive a pro-rated refund based on the withdraw schedule. Faculty withdrawals are not eligible for refunds. You are required to pay tuition and fees unless you drop classes by the deadline. Century College will not drop courses for non-attendance.

When a class is full, you have the option to add yourself to its waitlist to be notified if a seat becomes available. The waitlist is shut off the night before the first day of the semester. Waitlisting may not be available for late-start courses.

Open Seat Notification

You will be notified at your Century College email address as your position on the waitlist moves up. Once you are offered a seat in your waitlist class, you have exactly 24 hours to register (the email will indicate your registration deadline). It is extremely important that you monitor your email closely so you do not miss your waitlist opening.

Being able to add yourself to a waitlist does not mean you will be eligible to register for the class if a seat becomes available. Be sure to resolve all holds, verify in eServices you will pass course prerequisites, and remove all other registration barriers in advance so that you can register when a wait-listed seat is offered to you. Waitlisted seats become available 24 hours a day, including weekends. During non-business hours, staff may not be available to assist you. You cannot be returned to your original place on the waitlist if you fail to register during the 24-hour window.

Students will now obtain college credit verification of current or previous enrollment free by accessing this information through the myCentury student portal on the left-hand side under Order Transcripts and Verify Enrollment. For verification of Continuing Education/Customized Training non-credit courses, please contact CECT at 651-779-3341.

As a student, you are frequently required to obtain enrollment certifications from the Records Office for government or private agencies. Many require verification of “full-time” or “half-time” status. This is in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974.

Century College uses the following definitions for full-time and half-time status:

• Full-time: a student registered for 12 or more semester credits.
• Half-time: a student registered for 6-11 semester credits.
• First Year: a student who has earned less than 30-semester credits.
• Second Year: a student who has earned 30 or more semester credits.

Century College has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to be the agent for verification of student enrollment status. This service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In order to use this service, you must have your Social Security number on file with Century College.

Please note the Clearinghouse is not able to process both enrollment verifications and a Good Student Discount Certificate (GPA) information in a single certificate, so if you need both, it will require individual transactions.

Access the Clearinghouse to:

• Obtain an enrollment certificate to print and mail to a health insurer or other company that requests proof of your enrollment.
• Obtain a Good Student Discount Certificate (if eligible) to print and mail to automobile insurer.
• View enrollment information on file with the Clearinghouse.
• View the student loan deferment notifications that the clearinghouse has provided to your loan holders (lenders and guarantors).
• View the proof(s)of enrollment that the Clearinghouse has provided to your health insurers and other providers of student services or products.
• Order an official transcript or view the status of your transcript requests.
• View specific information about your student loans.
