Students who totally withdraw from all of their classes must submit a drop/add/withdraw form that includes the signature of a college counselor. Withdrawn classes will appear on the transcript with a grade of "W." According to Minnesota State Colleges and Universities guidelines, students enrolled at Riverland who totally withdraw from classes during fall and spring semester are subject to the following refund policy:

During the first five class days of the semester there will be a 100 percent refund of tuition and fees.

It is the student's responsibility to officially withdraw from college; the college does not assign a "W" grade for students who fail to officially withdraw.

If a student who receives Federal financial aid officially withdraws from all his/her classes or merely stops attending classes before 60 percent of the term is completed, the student will be required to repay a portion of his/her financial aid. The student's last date of attendance is determined by the date on the drop/add/withdraw form. If a student stops attending classes and does not notify the college, the student will receive "F" grades for all registered courses and the student's last date of attendance will be reported by the students' instructors.
