Withdraw/Drop

Don't learn the hard way about what happens if you stop attending class.  Do the smart thing and officially drop the class or withdraw from college. We also encourage you to speak with your instructors and advisor prior to the deadlines if you have any questions or concerns about withdrawing or dropping.

BSC follows the North Dakota University System's policies and procedures for 'Dropping a Class' and 'Withdrawing for a Term'.

Course Drop
This procedure allows students to discontinue enrollment in a particular course, but to maintain enrollment in some courses for the semester.  All course drops must be completed in CampusConnection.  

Withdraw to Zero Credits  
This procedure allows students to withdraw to zero credits for the semester. Students withdrawing completely from Bismarck State College must complete the Withdraw to Zero Credits Form.

Academic Record Drop or Withdrawal Appeal
The procedure allows students the opportunity to appeal a transcript record following a course drop, a withdrawal to zero credits, or past the last day to drop with record due to extenuating circumstances (medical, military, death in immediate family, natural disasters, etc).

Student Finance Drop or Withdrawal Appeal
Tuition and fee refunds are calculated in compliance with policy set by the State Board of Higher Education. Students, who wish to appeal tuition and fee charges due to extenuating circumstances (medical, military, death in immediate family, natural disasters, etc), may do so by following an appeal process and submitting the Student Finance Drop/Withdraw Appeal Form to the Student Finance Office.
