Summer Withdrawal Date: 

What is a drop or withdrawal (W)? A drop or withdrawal (W) is when a student removes themselves from the class roster. Students who drop will no longer receive a grade from that course. W’s do not affect your GPA; however, too many “W’s” can affect financial aid, your application to a UC/CSU, athletic eligibility, veterans’ education benefits, and priority registration. 

• Web-drop means that you withdrew from a class on CLASS-Web.  

What is a No Grade on Record (NGR) Web-Drop/NGR Withdrawal (W): Chabot College has a period where students can withdraw without any penalty. A no grade on record (NGR) drop/withdrawal will disappear from your transcript within the semester.

Check the last day for withdrawal and NGR on the academic calendar.
