WESTCHESTER EVENTS BOARD (WEB)
This is a student run organization that plans, executes, promotes and assess major student
events on campus. These events range in variety, but include areas such as: trips (Broad-
way, Skiing, Sports Events, etc), films, lectures, special events (carnivals, hypnotists, fairs,
etc), evening and family programs (Coffeehouses, Children’s events), and more! This group
receives an allocation of the student activity fee to plan these major campus events for their
fellow student. Any student can join the Board and help bring some life onto the campus of
Westchester Community College! For more information on how to become a member of
this student organization, visit the Office of Student Involvement in Student Center 109 or

WITHDRAWAL from A CLASS
The deadline to withdraw from a class and receive a grade of “W” is the last day of the ninth
week of a semester. For non-standard semesters, an equivalent date will be established.
A grade of “W” does not affect a student’s GPA. However, it is important to use
withdrawals wisely. If unsure, it is best to consult with your instructor or academic
counselor. Before deciding to withdrawal from a class, financial aid recipients are urged
to consult with a financial aid counselor to determine if current or future financial aid
may be negatively affected.
While it is the right of a student to withdraw from a course, withdrawal without following the
procedure listed below may result in the student’s failure of the course.
Once logged in, students can find instructions for how to drop a course on MyWCC. Note
that in order to drop a zero-credit course you must consult with a counselor, chair or dean.
WITHDRAWAL from COLLEGE
The last day to withdraw from college (all courses) is the last day of classes before final
examweek.To withdraw, ask a counselor for a withdrawal form, get the signatures required,
and submit the form to the Registrar’s Office before the deadline. It is important to withdraw
officially; don’t simply stop attending classes. That will result in failures. If you ever decide to
enroll in this or any other college at any time in the future, or to apply for financial aid, it will
be much easier if you have officially withdrawn rather than having it look as if you failed out.
Call 914-606-6810 for more information.
WORK STUDY
Students receiving Financial Aid are eligible to apply forWork/Study funds. Students awarded
Federal Work/Study may work around their class schedule and get paid! Students with
Federal Work/Study funds should see Maria Clarizio, Student Center, Room 201, Monday
through Friday 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, or call 914-606-6763.
