Refer to the student handbook or ask a representative in the admissions office if you are allowed to withdraw from the class. As the semester progresses, the policy for dropping a class changes. Often in the first week, you can withdraw with no consequences. From the second to the fourth week, dropped classes will often result in a "W" being added to your record. After the 12th week, often the only excuse you use for dropping a class is for medical reasons.
Request a withdrawal slip from the admissions office at the California college.
Enter your full name, student ID, class name, course number and reason for dropping the classes into the withdrawal slip.
Ask your professor to sign the withdrawal slip, and return it to the admissions office. If a compelling reason is required to withdrawal from the class, provide proof such as a doctor's note. If may be possible to have your money refunded for that class.
