Your high school counselor has the necessary Drop Request form that will need to be completed and signed by the student. For ECHS and P-TECH students, the Drop Request form can only be delivered by the high school to your college and ​not by the student. You must give at least one reason why you are dropping each class. A drop/withdrawal request must be received in the Dual Credit Office by the official drop/withdrawal deadline as indicated on the Academic Calendar and the current class schedule. No drop or withdrawal requests are accepted by telephone.
