Withdrawing from a Course
If you are considering dropping or withdrawing from a course, it is important to know how you are enrolled in that specific course.
- Concurrent Enrollment: If the course is paid by your high school, speak with your high school counselor to discuss the process.
- High School Guest Student: If you are self-paying for the course, contact the High School Partnerships office to discuss the process.
You must confirm and understand withdrawal deadlines for both your high school (if applicable) and Hawkeye. Withdrawing from a course may affect your grade point average, graduation requirements (for concurrent enrollment), eligibility for high school activities (for concurrent enrollment), and even your college financial aid eligibility.

Privacy of Your Records (FERPA)
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) specifies your rights with respect to your educational records.
When you enroll in college courses at Hawkeye, you may choose to grant access to your academic records to a parent or guardian. The first time you complete the DualEnroll application, you will have the option to complete this information. If you wish to make changes to what was provided when you submitted your DualEnroll application, contact the High School Partnerships office.
When you enroll in a concurrent enrollment course, students grant designated high school personnel permission to discuss issues in the classroom and receive grades.
Hawkeye advises high school counselors to refer students to their instructors with course-related questions or concerns. Instructors may also communicate with the high school counselor regarding a specific student.
If you have questions or concerns, contact the High School Partnerships office.
