Students who need to drop or withdraw from a course may do so online within published deadlines found on the student schedule or in Search for Sections in myGSU.
For students who receive financial aid (scholarships, grants, loans), please check with the Office of Financial Aid before dropping a course to determine if dropping a course will affect your financial aid eligibility. Email faid@govst.edu.
GSU has three different types of class drops: class drop, class withdraw, late withdraw request. You may click on the + sign to learn more information about each type of class drop.
For Emergency/Medical Leaves, that process is overseen by the Dean of Students. More information is available at www.govst.edu/emergencyleave
Please note that the last day to file a late withdrawal is the last day of the semester/term in which the course(s) take place. Incomplete requests will not be considered.
