Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I withdraw from a course?
    Once the add/drop period ends, students may no longer add courses to their schedules. They may, however, withdraw from a course but with academic and financial liabilities. Students can withdraw directly through their Self-Service Student account. A student will receive a W grade for any courses that are withdrawn. A grade of W is shown on the student's transcript but does not affect their cumulative grade point average.
  • How can I withdraw completely from Manhattan College?

    Students currently enrolled in Manhattan College who wish to withdraw from the College, effectively ending their status as matriculated students, must complete the required Manhattan College Withdrawal Form. An appointment should be made with the appropriate Academic Advisor/Assistant Dean to have an exit interview and to complete the required form. If a medical withdrawal is requested, student must see Dr. Terence Hannigan, Director of the The Counseling Center & Health Services. This form must be completely filled out or students will not be eligible for tuition adjustments and may be responsible for paying back any financial aid received from the College. The effective date for a student’s withdrawal is the date that student notifies the College.

  • What is my student status (Full-time, Part-time, 3/4 time)?

    Student status refers to the course load (in terms of credits) a student is taking during a given semester:

    Undergraduate:

    • Less than half time: 1–5 credits
    • Half time: 6–8 credits
    • 3/4 time: 9–11 credits
    • Full time: 12–or above

    Graduate (as of Fall 2016)

    • Less than half time: 1 -2 credits
    • Half time: 3 credits
    • 3/4 time: 4 -5 credits
    • Full time: 6 credits

    Students should pay close attention to their student status, especially if they are receiving any type of financial aid. Loans, grants, TAP and scholarships from Manhattan College have specific guidelines regarding student status. Falling below a certain status may put a student in jeopardy of losing aid.

  • How can I change my address?

    Students can update their address on their Self-Service Student Account or by filling out a Change of Address Form.

    You can also update your business, emergency contact, and local, and/or next of kin addresses on Self-Service.

If not, the student may, if they wish, take the completed form and submit it to their provider or lender by their own means.
