Individual Course Withdrawals

If the student drops a course before the last day to add or drop a course (see the Academic Calendar), the course is not recorded on the student’s record. A grade of W, WP or WF is given to a student who withdraws from a course after the last day to add or drop a course. If a student drops a course after the last day to withdraw from a course without a grade, the student will receive a grade of WF for that course.

Course Changes - New Students (non-transfer)

Changes in course registration may be made during the add/drop period by securing a course add/drop form from the Registrar’s office.

1.    Course Add: Students who fail to get the proper approval (if needed) or to return the form by the close of business on the add/drop date posted on the Academic Calendar, will not receive credit for the course involved and may jeopardize chances to enroll into another available course.

2.    Course Drop: If a student fails to drop a course by the end of the add/drop deadline because s/he never attended a class or stopped attending a class for which s/he was registered, s/he must officially drop the course or will ultimately receive a failing grade for the course(s) not dropped. Courses dropped during the add/drop period will not appear on the student’s record. Courses dropped after the add/drop period will be recorded with a grade of W, WP or WF.

3.    Course Withdrawal: Unless allowed by individual instructor’s syllabus attendance policy, students will not be automatically withdrawn from a course simply due to their attendance. The student must formally withdraw from a course she/he no longer wishes to attend. Course withdrawal forms are in the Registrar’s office.
