I see that there are different registration dates for new and returning students. What is the difference?A returning student is one that is enrolled in classes the semester prior to registration. If you take a semester off (except summer) you are considered a new student for registration dates.

How do I drop a class? How do I withdraw from a class? What's the difference?You can drop a class either in person or online during the first 15% of the class meetings.

After the drop period, and until 75% of the class is complete, you may withdraw from a class. You will need to fill out a withdrawal form in Admissions & Records or you may withdraw online.
A withdrawn class will receive a grade of "W," but the grade doesn't impact your GPA.
