Students
are allowed to drop courses up to the last day of the third week of
classes during a regular semester. Courses dropped by the deadline do
not appear on the student’s transcript.
Course Drop Forms are available
online or
in the Registrar’s Office, Davidson Hall, or the Enrollment
Center/Office of Continuing Education, Willard Hall.
WARNING:
Failure to carry a minimum of 12 credits may affect Satisfactory
Academic Progress (SAP) and receipt of certain federal, state and other
benefits, including but not limited to various financial aid programs,
Veterans benefits and Social Security benefits. Students dropping below
12 credits are ineligible for participation in intercollegiate
athletics.
Withdrawal from Courses
prior to Midterm
From the
beginning of the fourth week of classes until the end of the eighth week
of classes (Midterm) in
a regular semester, a student may withdraw from a course by completing a
Course Withdrawal
Prior To Midterm Form available online or at the Registrar’s Office, Davidson Hall or
the Enrollment Center/Office of Continuing Education, Willard Hall. A
“W” will be entered for the course on the student’s transcript. During
this period, approvals for withdrawal are not required; however, it is
strongly recommended that students consult with their academic advisor
prior to deciding to withdraw from a course. In addition, students
should be aware of the possible consequences of reducing their course
load to less than 12 credits, as indicated in the warning above.
Withdrawal from Courses after Midterm
After the
end of the eighth week of classes (Midterm) in a regular semester, a student may apply for withdrawal
from a course. The dean
of the school offering the course may approve such withdrawal if
documented extenuating circumstances, which justify withdrawal, are
found to exist. Poor academic performance is not considered an
extenuating circumstance. Students may apply for withdrawal using
the Course
Withdrawal After Midterm Form
available online or from the Registrar’s Office. Signatures indicating the
recommendations of the instructor and chair of the department offering
the course, as well as the approval of the dean of the school offering
the course, will be required. If withdrawal is approved, a “W” will be
recorded on the student’s transcript. If a student stops attending and
fails to withdraw officially from a course, a grade of “F” will be
recorded on the student’s transcript. In all cases of withdrawal, a “W”
does not affect the student’s grade-point average.
