Student Course Withdrawal
After registration, students may withdraw from a course through the last day listed to withdraw on the Academic Calendar. Withdrawal from a course may affect financial aid awards, but it does not affect a student’s grade point average.
A student should first speak with the instructor and an academic advisor to see if there is any way to remain in the course. If not, the student must submit the request via email to their academic advisor or to advise@cravencc.edu.
Students enrolled in Career and College Promise (CCP) programs, including Craven Early College (CEC) and Early College EAST (ECE), are subject to different course self-withdrawal policies than traditional college students. Due to program-specific guidelines and potential impacts on academic progress, students considering withdrawing from a course should consult their high school counselor before making any changes to their course load.
Paired Course Withdrawal Process
The courses listed below are intended to be taken together to enhance the learning experience. Due to their design and close connection, if a student requests to drop or withdraw from one of these courses, is marked as never attending one of the courses, or is automatically withdrawn for any reason, they will be removed from the paired course.

Instructor/Course Withdrawal
Faculty must withdraw a student from a course for excessive absences by the Last Day to Withdraw from Class or Audit (See Academic Calendar). See the course syllabus for faculty expectations for attendance.
Official Withdrawal from the College
To withdraw from all of the current semester’s courses, a student must complete the College Withdrawal Form located in Student Services or online. The student should discuss withdrawing with an advisor. The student’s financial aid and future academic records may be affected by a withdrawal and should be discussed with the Financial Aid office.
How Withdrawing Affects Financial Aid
Whether you withdraw officially or unofficially, the college must determine if you earned all the federal or state aid you received. The law specifies how Craven CC must determine the amount of Title IV program assistance that you earn if you withdraw from school. The Title IV programs covered by this law include Federal Pell Grants, Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grants, and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOGs). Though your aid is posted to your account at the start of each semester, you earn the funds as you complete the semester. If you withdraw during the semester, the amount of Title IV program assistance that you have earned up to that point is determined by a specific formula (known as a Return of Title IV). If you received less assistance than the amount that you earned, you may be able to receive those additional funds. If you received more assistance than you earned, the excess funds must be returned by the school and/or you.
The amount of assistance that you have earned is determined on a pro rata basis. For example, if you completed 30% of your semester, you earn 30% of the assistance you were originally scheduled to receive. Once you have completed more than 60% of the semester, you earn all the assistance that you were scheduled to receive for that semester.
Withdrawal from the College after the Deadline
Contact the Registrar to withdraw from classes after the Last Day to Withdraw from Class or Audit (see Academic Calendar). Students who withdraw after this date for extenuating circumstances will be removed from all classes for the current semester.
