How withdrawal affects satisfactory academic progress (SAP)

You are strongly encouraged to meet with an academic counselor or advisor before withdrawing from classes. Course withdrawals appear as a grade of "W" on a transcript and count against a your course completion rate, which can negatively impact satisfactory academic progress. For more information about satisfactory academic progress, see the Inver Hills Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policy.

When you receive confirmation of total withdrawal from the Enrollment Center, you are eligible for refunds according to the published refund schedule for the term. Refund checks generally take two to three weeks for process and return. For detailed information on refunds, visit the Refunds page.

Drop for Nonpayment

Depending on when you register, you must pay tuition by the deadline or you may be dropped from your classes.

You will not be dropped from your classes if the Enrollment Center has received authorization for payment by an outside agency, you have filed for Financial Aid, or you have set up a FACTS payment plan by the payment deadline.
