Marcie, At our institution which is mid-size community college we allow our students to withdraw from one course and keep the rest of the learning community courses if it is after the official date to drop and receive a refund. However, we make sure to let the students know the implications of that on the remaining courses of the learning community. Part of the reason its this way for financial aid reasons. Hope this helps Afsheen -----Original Message----- From: Open Forum for Learning Assistance Professionals [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Marcie Carter Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2007 11:24 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Dropping a course within a Learning Community Good Morning all, I am working with our Learning Community Advisory Board on an issue in regard to students who enroll in a learning community and then decide they want to drop one of the courses. The group is struggling with the overall effect that has on the community and whether the student should be de-enrolled from the remaining community courses. Have any of you dealt with this issue? What resolutions have you determined work for students? We are struggling with the effect this may have on financial aid and completion ratios. Marcie A.
