Helpful Navigate Resources
Dropping, Adding, or Withdrawing From a Class
Students can edit their schedule any time before the semester begins. Once the semester begins they typically have 2-3 business days to drop a course for a 100% refund. View the schedule adjustment period by viewing the registration calendar.
Students may withdraw from a course or courses by notifying their instructor(s). A grade of “W” is assigned if the student’s last date of attendance is on or before midterm of the session. If a student is withdrawing from a course and the last date of attendance is after midterm, the grade assigned may be a “W” or a “WF” based on the instructor’s discretion (Some exceptions apply in disciplinary sanctions and certain programs).
Note: Withdrawing from courses may impact a student's financial aid. Students should speak with a financial aid advisor prior to requesting to be withdrawn.
The Greater Charlotte Consortium
The Greater Charlotte Consortium (GCC) allows eligible York Technical College students to take approved courses at participating colleges and universities in the greater Charlotte region while remaining enrolled at York Technical College. This opportunity helps students stay on track for graduation when a required or beneficial course is not available at their home institution. Applications for GCC courses are submitted online and require electronic approvals.

Additional Information
Students must follow the host institution’s academic calendar, policies, and course requirements. Tuition for GCC courses is waived; however, students are responsible for any applicable course-related fees. At the end of the term, grades are sent to YTC and posted as transfer credit. GCC course grades typically do not impact the YTC GPA.
For questions about eligibility, approvals, or credit transfer, students should contact their York Technical College academic advisor or the Registrar’s Office at arecords@yorktech.edu.
