Withdrawal (W)
A grade of W indicates that the student withdrew from a class with no effect to the student’s GPA. A student wishing to withdraw from a class for a grade of W may do so by completing an add/drop form and securing the signature of his or her advisor and course instructor before the appropriate deadline, set at the two thirds mark of the semester, term, or quarter.
The only circumstance in which the student will not be charged for a course is if the student never attends a class session. If the student attends one class session or more, he or she will be charged a determined percentage of the course’s tuition cost. The percentage applied to the student’s account depends on how many classes the student attends and the withdrawal date. For further information, please contact either the Financial Aid Office or the Office of Academic Services.
Note: A student who is a first responder may elect to withdraw from a course with a grade of W at any time during the term if documentation is provided verifying that the student’s first responder duties were the cause of absences exceeding the number of allowable excused absences. This policy applies to academic withdrawal only.
