I go to a community college and the last day to withdraw from a class is tomorrow and the semester is ending in the next week or two. I%26#039;m changing my major today (on an online form) and i%26#039;m just going to withdraw from all the classes I%26#039;m in right now that I took this semester because they aren%26#039;t courses for my new major and plus for some I%26#039;m not doing too well in anyway. Doesn%26#039;t this make sense?? Just checking. Please give me your thoughts|||If you%26#039;re not doing so well in your class(es), it sounds like a good idea to withdrawal from them. A low grade may really bring down one%26#039;s gpa (grade point average). Please remember to follow the exact procedure put in place by the college/registration office for withdrawing from classes. The student may have to get the actual signature of the instructor and then the form brought to registration or such for the withdrawal to be approved.
Even if you%26#039;re thinking of switching to a new major, I would reconsider whether to withdrawal from the classes that you%26#039;re not having such difficulty in since those courses may count towards graduation. How about going into the student services office and talking with a school counselor about it.

Most universities only count coursework towards your GE pattern for your major (and major-specific courses, of course) towards your GPA, so even if you only pass the classes you%26#039;re in, it shouldn%26#039;t effect you too much. And if you change it again, you could have to repeat some of the courses you%26#039;re taking this semester. Really, why throw a whole semester%26#039;s worth of work and fees in the toilet at the last minute?
