How do I drop a Dual Enrollment course?

If you find you need to drop your Dual Enrollment course, first be mindful of the important deadlines and drop before the penalty deadline. If you drop after the no-notation deadline, you will get a mark of a W (Withdrawal) or FW (Failed Withdrawal) on your official transcript which could potentially affect your academic or financial aid standing with Palomar. Please email your school counselor, Mrs. Simpson (areli.simpson@smusd.org), and Ms. Heidi (heidi.harris@smusd.org) if you would like to drop. In addition, please keep in mind that these are college courses and Palomar’s deadlines for adding/dropping a course are set by Palomar and may differ from SMUSD high school courses. All grades are permanent on the SMHS and Palomar transcript. 

Important Dates

Note, these dates can be subject to change. For most up to date information, you can log onto your MyPalomar, and go directly to your current courses where you will be able to view course details to determine any drop deadlines.
