Question Dropping a class?

I am attending bmcc as a freshman

I have a class that I forgot I wanted to drop till I saw it on my schedule for today

It doesn't have anything to do with my major

I want to drop it

But I gotta know

Is doing so free? Google says is free. How will it affect my financial aid? I have tap and fafsa I'm not trying to change it. In trying to drop it.

Reason: I email the prof twice and didn't get a response like I did with my other profs. They responded fairly quick to my questions except this one prof. He feels unreliable. Plus I realized I could use the extra free time to study. Maybe work. I also need time for therapy and physical therapy (I have scoliosis)

Do I even rrly need a reason?

Tldr: can I drop a non course necessary class for free and how will it affect me?

13 is full time so dropping one class which is 3 credits would be 10 credits in total. You’re dropping from full time to part time so I believe there will be some changes to your financial aid.
