Addition of WA and WX-Administrative Withdrawal Grades
Recommendation: F, WF 0.0 (calculated in GPA), and WX 0.0
(calculated in GPA) NR, X, I, P, W, WP 0.0 (not calculated in GPA),
and WA 0.0 (not calculated in GPA)
WA - Indicates administrative withdrawal from a course or courses
necessitated by
University requirements. This grade is non-punitive and the current
refund policy is applicable.
WX- Indicates administrative withdrawal from a course or courses
necessitated by
University requirements. This grade is punitive and no fees are
refunded.
Rationale: The administrative withdrawal policy was passed
in the Faculty Association
and adopted by the University last year. This language broadens
the range of options
available to a faculty member. The non- punitive and punitive options
need to be clearly
listed in the UNF catalog (pp.28-29).
