[2] Changes in Registration/Withdrawal from Courses

Return to top

The change-of-course procedure requires approval by the student's advisor and the Office of the Registrar. No addition to a student's schedule may be made after the late registration period. The semester schedule of classes information outlines procedures and lists dates for course changes.

During the change-of-course period, no grade will be recorded. If a course is dropped between the change-of-course period and the drop deadline specified in the academic calendar, a grade of Withdrawn (W) will be recorded so long as the course instructor has not already dropped the student for non-attendance. If a student is dropped from a course for non-attendance, a grade of Withdrawn Failing (WF) will be recorded.

If a course is dropped after the deadline specified in the academic calendar, a Withdrawn Failing (WF) will be automatically recorded.

[3] Withdrawal from the University

Return to top

A student may officially withdraw from the university according to the date specified in the academic calendar for that semester. If a student withdraws from the university, a grade of Withdrawn Passing (WP) or Withdrawn Failing (WF) may be recorded at the discretion of the instructor. If a student discontinues attendance of all classes without officially withdrawing from the university, grades of WF for non-attendance may be recorded.
