If the student does not pass the class, a poor College Now grade can have a lasting impact on
their ability to get financial aid in the future. Students have the option to drop a College Now
course by set deadlines if they are doing poorly in the class.
If a student drops the college credits, they may still complete the requirements for high school
credit. There is no refund if a student drops a College Now course.
