Until the close of registration, a student may, in consultation with the academic advisor, drop from any course. The course does not appear on the student’s record. Student's should refer to the Academic Calendar for specific dates each year.
A student may withdraw from any course until the "last day for withdrawing with automatic W", but the course appears on the record with a mark of W. In other words, during the first four weeks of the fall or spring semester, or during the first two weeks of the winter session, a student may withdraw from any course without penalty, being assigned the mark of W. Thereafter, until the beginning of the final four weeks of the fall or spring semester, or until the final two weeks of winter session, a student who withdraws from any course will be assigned a mark of W if he/she is passing at the time of withdrawal; if he/she is not passing, the mark assigned is WF. Students should refer to the Academic Calendar for specific dates each year.
After the "last day for withdrawing," a student who ceases to attend class is assigned a WF unless extenuating circumstances are established. Merely ceasing to attend class does not constitute withdrawal, and failure to follow prescribed withdrawal procedures will result in a mark of WF.
In addition to the above drop or withdrawal options, a student who, at the beginning of the current semester or session, has not earned 28 credits may, between the "last day for withdrawing with automatic W" and the "last day of classes", withdraw from one course with a W, even though failing at the time of withdrawal. Students should refer to the Academic Calendar for specific dates each year.
Merely ceasing to attend class does not constitute withdrawal, and failure to follow prescribed withdrawal procedures will result in a mark of WF.
