DROPPING AND WITHDRAWING FROM COURSES
Dropping a course (or courses) may occur during the first two- weeks of the semester. Courses dropped during the add/drop period will not be on your transcript.
Withdraw: The date to withdraw from a single course depends on the length of the course. Dates are listed above. After the last day to withdraw from a single course, a course may be dropped by permission of the Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs but only when verifiable extenuating circumstances can be demonstrated, such as illness or accidental injury. Poor performance in class is not an extenuating circumstance. After January 24th 2020, you may exercise a Total Withdrawal or withdraw from all of your courses with a grade of W and will be no longer registered for the current semester. This may occur until the Friday before Finals Week (May 1st, 2018). The withdrawal process is initiated in the Admissions/Registrars Office. You are financially responsible for all courses you are registered for after January 24th, 2020.
Absences due to participation in college-sponsored activities or military training are typically excused, but you should always give your instructors as much advanced notice as possible.
