1.19 Withdrawals


The official course withdrawal period begins after the drop period ends. The last day to officially withdraw from the semester is noted on the academic calendar 

During the fall and spring semesters, a student may officially withdraw from one or more courses after the third week of the semester and no later than the published withdrawal deadline. During the summer session, the withdrawal period begins at the end of the second week. 

A grade of “W” (Withdrawal) appears on the transcript for courses from which a student withdraws. When a student drops a course(s) prior to or during the first three weeks of the semester, the student is considered not to have been enrolled in the course. Thus, no entry for that course will be made on the student’s transcript. 

Withdrawal Procedure  

An official withdrawal is accomplished by submitting a Course Withdrawal Form after the third week of classes and no later than the withdrawal deadline.  

Withdrawals must be approved by the Academic Dean. No student will be granted a withdrawal after the withdrawal deadline unless the Academic Standing Committee grants special permission based on a student’s appeal.  

All summer school deadlines are proportionate to the regular semester calendar.
