Dropping and Adding Classes

If you find it necessary to drop a class (including withdrawal from school), you must use a Drop Form. Failure to do so will result in an “E” (failing) grade for the course(s) in question.

There are two ways to initiate a drop request.

First, students may drop classes online by completely filling out the online drop form.

1. Provide name and KCTCS student ID number (or birthdate).
2. Provide KCTCS email address.
3. Select “Drop Request” from the drop down menu under “Form Type”.
4. Under “Drop Information”, provide the five digit class number (four digit number for summer) and the catalog number for each class being dropped. (For example, 1234 ENG 101) Also, indicate if the request is to drop all classes and why the classes are being dropped.
5. Answer the final question.
6. Hit the “Submit” button.
   

Second, students can obtain and complete a drop form from the Registrar’s office at the Boone campus or the Edgewood campus. The completed drop form should be returned to the Registrar’s Office for processing.

Dropping After Mid-term
After mid-term of each session, students must have permission from their instructor(s) to drop classes. Email permission is acceptable if the email is sent by the instructor to gw-studentrecords@kctcs.edu. Check the academic calendar for these dates.

Adding Classes
Students who have self-enrollment access are permitted to add classes during the add period of each session. Students who do not have self-enrollment access will need to see their advisor. Check the academic calendar for these dates. After the add period, division chair approval is required to add a class.

Online Classes
Classes taken online through another KCTCS college may not be on the same academic calendar as Gateway. Students will need to check with these schools before dropping or adding a class.
