Students are strongly advised to complete all courses in which they enroll and are encouraged to avoid withdrawing from any course after the program change period unless absolutely necessary.
The following policy applies to students who drop a course or courses but maintain an enrolled status within the University:
A student may withdraw from a course during the program change period without the withdrawal being shown on the transcript. (A student should consult the Class Registration Directory to obtain specific dates.)
After the tenth day of classes but prior to the end of the eighth week of classes during any regular semester, a student may withdraw from a full semester course with a grade of WX upon complying with the following steps:
A grade of F will be given to students who (1) fail to officially withdraw from a course in compliance with the above procedure; or (2) register for a course but do not complete course requirements.
A student should consult the applicable Class Registration Directory for specific withdrawal dates during any instructional term. For courses taken during a term less than a regular semester, a proportional withdrawal period will apply.
Upon the written recommendation of a licensed physician or licensed psychologist, or in other unusual circumstances, a student may be granted permission to officially withdraw from a course for medical, psychological or other similar special reason after the official withdrawal period upon receiving approval from the Associate Vice President for Undergraduate Studies or the Associate Vice President for Graduate Studies, Research, and International Education.
