You also want to make sure that you graduate in a timely way – if you wait too long there is a chance that courses you took in the beginning could end up not counting.

If you drop classes you won’t get money back at this point, right? Before you drop them you might also want to make sure that they will be offered again in the spring of 2008.

Sounds like you really have a load on your plate, one more semester to take it a bit slower won’t hurt anything. AND you don’t want to end up failing a course or getting a “D” that could hurt your G.P.A.

Also, ask your adviser if it is still within the withdrawal period for your classes. If it is still within the withdrawal period, you will most likely need your instructor’s approval as well as your department’s approval to do so.

Make sure that your curriculum requirements will not change as a result of you withdrawing to part-time status. Also, what are the impacts if you are not a full-time student? If you are on Financial Aid, you will be required to contact the Financial Aid Office for their approval as well. Is your medical insurance contingent upon your full-time student status. These are some questions to think about before you withdraw.

Best wishes!
