Official Dropping of Courses

Dropping refers to the process of officially withdrawing from an enrolled course. The official dropping of a course must take place not later than the deadline set by the Registrar’s Office as indicated in the term calendar, or no later than the 10th week of the term. 

Guidelines: 

1. Requests for official dropping of courses must be done within the deadline or no later than the 10th week of the current term. Courses will not be allowed to be dropped after the deadline set forth by the office of the College Registrar as posted in the Term Calendar.

2. A grade of "DRP" shall be earned to the course officially dropped regardless of the academic performance of the student. The grade of “DRP” can neither be removed nor completed. It has no bearing on the rules regarding refunds or payments made as stipulated in a memorandum from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). Note: Approved drop requests are not eligible for refund. 

3. Students who intend to drop a course should be cleared of any disciplinary cases. Students shall obtain clearance from the Student Discipline and the Registrar's office.

4. Request to drop a course should not violate the pre-requisite course regulation.

5. Dropping a course that is a co-requisite of another course constitutes dropping of both courses. 

6. In cases wherein the student fails to officially drop a course, the faculty member shall be guided by the following:

• The student shall be given a final grade of “5.00” or “F” (Failed); or,
• The student shall be given a final grade of “FA” (Failure due to Absences) if he incurs excessive absences. 

Requirements:

1. Application for Official Dropping of Course Form
2. Processing Fee of Php 50 per course

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What does a DRP grade mean?

A DRP (Dropped) mark means you officially withdrew from a course during the allowed period.
It does not affect your GWA, but it stays permanently on your academic record.

2. Will my tuition fees be reduced if I drop a course?

No. MMDC does not adjust tuition or miscellaneous fees for dropped courses.
This is why it’s important to be certain before submitting your request.

3. Can I re-enroll the course I dropped?

Yes. Any course marked DRP must be re-enrolled and passed in a future term if it is required in your curriculum.

4. Can dropping a course delay my graduation?

Dropping a course may affect your:

• Course sequencing

• Ability to take pre-requisite or co-requisite subjects

• Target graduation timeline

Always check your Curriculum Plan and consult your Integrated Advisor if unsure.

5. Can I drop multiple courses in one term?

Yes, but consider the impact carefully.
Dropping several courses:

When in doubt, seek advising.

Requests submitted after the deadline cannot be processed.
You will need to:
