Students should use very good judgment before dropping a class or withdrawing from TVCC. Students should discuss all schedule changes, class refusals or drops with their instructors and counselor. Such actions may affect their ITP, which may affect a parole vote or their Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), which may affect their financial aid eligibility status.
