Drops and withdrawals
The student must initiate drop/withdrawals from a course. It is the student’s responsibility to withdraw properly by the deadline dates published online at www.pdx.edu/registration/academic-calendar. To avoid having to pay special deposit fees, students should refer to departmental policies.
A student may drop with no record of the course on the transcript up to the end of the second week of the term. As a courtesy, students are advised to notify the instructor concerned of the intended drop.
A student may withdraw for any reason before the end of the seventh week. A student withdrawing in the third through the seventh week will have a “W” recorded on the transcript.
A student cannot withdraw after the seventh week without approval of the Deadline Appeals Committee. A “W” is recorded if the petition is allowed.
Deadline dates for drops and withdrawals are found in the academic calendar published online at www.pdx.edu/registration/academic-calendar. Date of withdrawal is the date it is received by Registration.
