Drop a Course

We are sorry to see you go - but we realize that sometimes it is not possible to complete your course(s).

If you want to drop a course, but you do not want to withdraw from HCCC, follow these steps:

1. Contact the professor - by phone, email, or within your on-line course. Explain your situation. It is possible that special arrangements can be made which would allow you to complete the course.

2. If you still wish to drop the course, please email the HCCC Registrar's Office at registrarsoffice@herkimer.edu from your HCCC Student Email account. You must include your full name, either the last 4 digits of your Social Security Number OR your entire HCCC Student ID Number, and the course information (Subject, Number, Section, Course Name, etc.). (You can find more information regarding your HCCC Student Email Account, access it online) Please note that there is a fee for dropping a course. Please also note: It is HCCC policy that if you register for a course and log into the course after it begins you have 'attended' that class and are not eligible for a full refund of the tuition. Students are given the opportunity of logging into courses several days before they begin to review the Course Information. Participation in any of the 'Icebreaker' assignments constitutes class participation.

Students will receive a full or partial refund of tuition for early withdrawal when they follow the college withdrawal procedure found in the college catalog.

Withdraw from College

Download and print withdrawal form, which can be found on our forms webpage, fill it out, and FAX or mail it.

Students who withdraw with a financial obligation must pay this balance to Herkimer County Community College, or their account will be turned over to a collection agency, which could add up to 50% in collection charges.
