A student may drop a course up to the final day of the Drop/Add period. All courses will appear on the transcript after this date. A grade of “WD” will be assigned to students who withdraw from a course before the last date to withdraw officially without academic penalty.
The last day to withdraw officially or take a Leave of Absence is three weeks after Mid-Term Exams for semester-long courses. Specific dates will be posted each semester. Dates for withdrawing from courses running in Summer Sessions I and II will be posted each term.
Students should be aware that dropping a course could adversely affect their financial aid.
Students who do not withdraw officially, drop a course during the Drop/Add period, or take a Leave of Absence, will have a grade of "FA" assigned for any course they have stopped attending (see Grading System for more information).
Non-matriculated students enrolled in one or more courses wishing to withdraw from a course must complete (and have processed) an Official Withdrawal form.
Matriculated students enrolled in only one course who wish to withdraw from that course must also process Official Withdrawal or Leave of Absence forms.
