• After classes begin, typically for a four-day period, students may adjust their schedules with a refund for each course dropped and no grades awarded. For the Spring 2011 semester, eCore classes can be added or dropped anytime during the eCore Drop/Add period - January 10 through January 14. During this period, students may totally drop or cancel their eCore registrations by notifying the Fort Valley State Registrar.

• Fort Valley State University eCore students desiring to withdraw from one or more eCore classes after the drop/add period and before the midpoint of the term may do so by completing the online eCore withdrawal form. After doing so, the student will be assigned a grade of "W" for those course(s). While a grade of "W" does not count in the student's cumulative grade point average, it does count in attempted hours for financial aid purposes and could affect a student's eligibility for aid if there are repeated withdrawals. Students who withdraw after the deadline will receive a grade of “WF” for the course.

To withdraw from an eCore class, students must complete the eCore withdrawal form available at here. The eCore withdrawal information will then be forwarded to the FVSU Registrar.
