- OBJECTIVE & PURPOSE
To establish a university policy for withdrawal from a course or the university.
- STATEMENT OF POLICY
Students may withdraw from a course or from the university from the end of the drop/add period through the "last day to withdraw" as indicated in the academic calendar.
A grade of "W" will be assigned upon completion of the withdrawal request process, and no refund is generated. If a student merely stops attending classes without officially withdrawing, a final grade of "F" will be assigned.
Late Withdrawals
If a student misses the deadline for withdrawing, a student may petition for late withdrawal if there are unusual circumstances clearly beyond the student's control. The dean or designee of the student's college has final approval/disapproval authority. The course instructor does not approve or disapprove the withdrawal, but only assignes a grade of WP or WF. The instructor may recommend an action or write an explanation of the applicable circumstances.
This policy does not mean that a student has the right to withdraw from a course after the official withdrawal deadline simply because he/she had a passing grade at the time.
- STATEMENT OF PROCEDURES
Student can withdraw electronically in Banner Student Self Service or by completing an official withdrawal request and submitting said request to One Stop Student Services. A letter postmarked by the withdrawal deadline will also be accepted.
