Students are expected to complete the courses for which they register. Failure to properly drop or withdraw from classes will result in the assignment of an F grade for the class.
You may add a class or drop a class without penalty during the first week of classes by doing the following:
Dropping a class after the first full week of classes will result in a withdrawal.
A grade of “W” will appear on your transcript for that class. It will not affect your grade point average. The Permission to Withdraw Form (pdf) must be completed and submitted to the Records and Registration office. You must submit your form* to the receptionist in the Records and Registration office by 4:30 p.m. according to the following schedule:
| Week | Refund Amount |
|---|---|
| Second Full Week | You are refunded 75% of the tuition for the class. |
| Third Full Week | You are refunded 50% of the tuition for the class. |
| Fourth Full Week | You are refunded 25% of the tuition for the class. |
| Fifth Full Week | You are refunded 0% of the tuition for the class. |
Refunds are based upon the date showing on the form. *Please note that it is NOT the responsibility of a professor, advisor, or departmental secretary to submit the form.
During weeks 10 through 14, withdrawal requires either “WP” (Withdraw Passing, no GPA penalty) or “WF” (Withdraw Failing, counted “F” for grade calculation). No withdrawals are accepted during final examination week.
