Should I Drop a Course?
Students may drop course(s) on GoldLink without permission thru October 16th. Students who need assistance with GoldLink should contact the Registration Help Desk at 423-439-5584 (M-F, 8:00 am – 4:30 pm) or visit 102 Burgin Dossett for assistance.
After March 6, if a student needs to drop a course due to extenuating circumstances
they must file a Late Drop Appeal which requires attaching documentation of the extenuating circumstances (circumstances
beyond a student’s control). Late Drop Appeals must be approved by the dean of the
student’s college. Failing a course is not considered extenuating circumstances.
Do not automatically drop courses in which you are dissatisfied with your grade or
withdraw (drop all courses) from the University. Dropping a course or courses will
adversely impact your Financial Aid, Scholarships, Lottery, Housing and Athletic eligibility for this term and future terms. Always check with
appropriate offices before dropping a course. Hastily dropping courses can increase
the expense and length of time necessary to complete a degree. The grade of “W” will
be recorded and the course will be included in your attempted hours. Students must
VERIFY all drops on GoldLink.
You may be able to improve the grade during the remainder of the semester. If not, courses with a grade of “C” or lower may be repeated in a future semester. The former grade will be excluded (in your GPA calculation) and the most recent grade will be included in computing your adjusted GPA.
For Lottery Scholarship purposes you can only use one repeat of a class as a replacement grade one time in your college career. Choose your one time wisely. For more information about the Lottery Scholarship rules see the Don’t Lose Hope. website.
Withdrawing from the University?
Students may withdraw from all classes until December 5th before 4:30 pm. Written requests for withdrawal from the university must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar, 101 Dossett Hall before this deadline. Withdrawing will adversely affect financial aid, scholarships, Lottery Scholarships, housing, and athletic eligibility. Students who stop attending without officially withdrawing will receive an “F” for each course.
Visit the ETSU Academic Calendar for all dates and deadlines.
