What is the withdrawal policy for a dual enrollment course, and how does it impact refunds and the transcript?

• A. Withdrawal deadlines determine refunds; a W grade may appear on the transcript; refunds depend on the date of withdrawal.
• B. Withdrawals are always fully refunded with no transcript impact.
• C. Withdrawals always result in an F on the transcript.
• D. There is no formal withdrawal policy.

Answer: (A)

Withdrawal timing drives both refunds and transcript notations in a dual enrollment course. When you withdraw, the amount you get back usually depends on how close you are to the official withdrawal deadline—earlier withdrawals typically qualify for more favorable refunds, while withdrawing after the deadline often means little to no refund. On the academic side, if you pull out after the allowed window, a W (withdrawal) may appear on your transcript, indicating you started the course but did not complete it; this usually doesn’t affect your GPA but can be noted on your records and may influence progress or financial aid considerations. This combination—refunds tied to the withdrawal date and the possibility of a W on the transcript—best matches how these policies are commonly stated.
