Drop/Withdraw/Appeal

Prior to Dropping or Withdrawing

There are many items to consider before dropping a course or withdrawing from courses. Please review the BSC Dates and Deadlines schedule for the semester and visit with an advisor before making a decision.

Course Drop or Withdraw to Zero Credits

This allows students to discontinue enrollment in a particular course, but to maintain enrollment in some courses for the semester or withdraw to zero credits for the semester.  All course drops must be completed in CampusConnection.  Students withdrawing completely from Bismarck State College must complete the Withdraw to Zero Credits Form.

Course Drop or Withdraw to Zero Credits Appeal

This allows students the opportunity to appeal a transcript record and/or tuition and fee charges following a course drop, a withdraw to zero credits, or past the last day to drop with record due to extenuating circumstances (medical, military, death in immediate family, natural disasters, attempt to drop, etc.). Tuition and fee refunds are calculated in compliance with policy set by the State Board of Higher Education.
