When is the last date to withdraw (drop) from a class without receiving a penalty or final grade?

It is the sole responsibility of the student to withdraw from a course. If the student has been attending, then the student may withdraw from a course within the term prior to the 90% point of that course.

The 90% point will vary by class based on the start and end dates of the class. Drop dates, referred to Academic Calendar Deadlines in the Student Center, are unique for each class. These deadlines, including the 90 percent deadline to drop, are accessible via the myMadisonCollege Student Center. To determine the 90% point (date):

1. Sign into your myMadisonCollege student account
2. In the left-hand menu, choose "Class Schedule"
3. Click on the desired class within your schedule and click "View Class Details"
4. Under the "Class Actions" heading, click on "View Deadlines"

Academic Calendar Deadlines:
