Academic Policies - Withdrawing from Individual Classes

To withdraw officially from a course, students must complete a Drop/Add Form available at the Office of Records and Registration. Merely notifying the instructor is not an official withdrawal. All students need to obtain the signature of the professor of the class to receive a withdrawal grade.

Courses officially dropped before the end of the second week of class will not appear on the student’s permanent record and do not require the instructor’s signature.

Students who officially drop a course after the second week and before the end of the tenth week of classes will receive a “W’’ grade. A “W’’ grade indicates that the student’s work up to the date of withdrawal was passing. However, a faculty member may still assign a grade of “F’’ if he or she notifies the student with a Faculty Notification of Possible Failure Form.

Students who do not complete the course may receive an “F” unless there are extenuating circumstances. If extenuating circumstances prevail, the student must contact the divisional dean.

Note to all financial aid recipients

Please contact the Financial Aid Office before withdrawing from classes. Withdrawing may affect the amount of aid you were awarded or the amount of aid you expect to receive.
