Withdrawal from a Course

When a student drops a course within the change of schedule period, no grade is recorded. If the course is dropped after the change of schedule period but within the period to drop with the grade of W, the W grade will be recorded on the permanent record. Courses with W grades will not affect the GPA because they are excluded from GPA calculations. Students who receive financial aid, should review the policy on Drops and Withdrawals. Students who do not officially drop a course during the established time periods will receive the grade earned in the course (A, B, C, F) as determined by the instructor.

Students with documented medical or mental health problems or verified circumstances beyond their control must contact the Office of Student Outreach and Support (SOS) to petition for a late medical withdrawal. Documentation must accompany the petition. If approved, grades of W will be recorded.
