Academic Standards Handbook

3.10 Dropping Classes

Students may drop a class during the first fifteen percent (15%) of the course duration (the census date) without being financially responsible for the class; the class will not appear on the student’s permanent record. Specific drop deadlines for A, B, and Full-term classes are listed in the schedule of classes. Students who register and do not want to be held liable for tuition and fees must drop the class on or before the last day for refund (census date.)  Notifying the instructor, the advisor or simply not attending the class is not sufficient to ensure that a student is dropped from the class. An official Add/Drop Registration form with appropriate signatures must be submitted to the Records Office within the prescribed deadlines.

What I like best about Northeastern are the very friendly and supportive people that study and work there. As a soccer player, we also have a very bonded team and I really like the combination of competitiveness and help that we offer each other. For students that think about coming to Northeastern you can expect all of these things. Speaking as an international student, you will have an amazing experience here and one you won't regret!

What I like the most about NJC is that my classes are fun and interesting, and I learn something new every day! My professors make the classes fun and engaging, and the information I learn is fascinating.
