Students who withdraw from a course after the add/drop deadline and before the last day to withdraw will receive a W grade on their academic history and transcript to indicate that they withdrew and did not complete the course. The withdrawal does not affect the calculation of the cumulative grade-point average, but it does impact a student’s academic progression as counted toward attempted credit, which may result in the student being placed on academic probation or dismissal.
Students must withdraw from courses using the Student Hub.
Students who fail to withdraw from a course by the deadline, regardless of their level of class participation or attendance, are financially and academically responsible. A student’s lack of academic engagement and completion of course requirements will likely result in a final grade of F.
All students are encouraged to consult with their academic advisor prior to withdrawing from a course to understand how that may affect their progress toward their degree. Withdrawals may impact a student's time to degree completion.
A reduction in a student’s course load due to withdrawals affects a student’s externally reported time status and may impact progress toward degree, academic standing, financial aid, scholarship or other entity that has time status requirements for eligibility, and/or international student enrollment requirements. A student considering a withdrawal should consult with the relevant office or entity before they submit requests for withdrawal to understand how it may affect their respective eligibility or status.
