Are you thinking about dropping a class?
Dropping a class now will result in a “W” showing on your transcript for withdrawal, but it will not count in computing your GPA. If you choose to drop a class, you will be charged a $15 add/drop fee.
The last day to drop a class this quarter with a “W” is February 21, 2024. After this date, no “W” will be given.
Are You Receiving Financial Aid?
Please check with the Financial Aid office before dropping any classes as your aid may be impacted.
Are You Receiving GI Bill Benefits?
Please check with the Veteran & Military Student Services Office before dropping any classes as your benefits may be impacted.
To drop a class:
- Email your instructor and ask for permission to drop.
- Email the name & number of the course you’d like to drop, along with your instructor’s permission, to Enrollment Services at EnrollmentServices@Shoreline.edu and we will process the drop for you.
Need help planning your courses? Contact the Advising Center to make an appointment with an academic advisor.

This is a great time to schedule an appointment with your Advisor to discuss potential classes for next quarter and to create an Educational Plan. An Educational Plan is a map of the classes you will take each quarter until completion.

Good news! The Shoreline network connection for campus has been restored.
We have received more information on the outage we experienced today and have confirmed that the fiber connection had some integrity issues in two spots, one near our campus and one about four miles out. These issues caused the Shoreline network to lose connectivity. While this is not an issue that originated at the College it is one that impacted us. Thankfully the technicians were able to get it fixed quickly allowing our connection to be fully restored.
Please continue to check in with your instructors for instructions about evening classes and activities.
