Short-term classes: Short-term classes have specific deadline dates available on your student schedule/bill. Log in to myGateway, then go to Tools › Student Tools › myStudent Hub › View Schedule/Bill.

All registration, adds, drops, and withdrawals must be completed online through myGateway. All dates subject to change without notice.

Your Responsibility to Drop Classes

If you decide not to attend a class for which you have registered, you must officially drop the class through myGateway by the published deadline. Instructors are not required to drop students for non-attendance.

Non-attendance, non-participation, or non-payment for a class may result in a failing grade and may incur a financial obligation and a hold on your record.
