Drops and withdrawals
Drops/withdrawals from a course must be initiated by the student. It is the student’s responsibility to drop/withdraw properly by the published deadlines dates.
A student may drop with no record 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 or completed drop.
A student may withdraw for any reason before the end of the seventh week. Withdrawing in the third through seventh week will result in a "W" recorded on the transcript.
A student wishing to withdraw after the seventh week must petition the Deadline Appeals Board. A "W" is recorded if the petition is approved.
Refunds are automatic and are calculated from the date of official course load reduction. The refund is 100% only if the drop occurs within the first week of the term.
The above deadlines refer to Fall, Winter and Spring terms. For deadlines during Summer Session, consult the Registrar's Academic Calendar.
