Withdrawal from a Class
If a student wishes to withdraw from a class in session after the Add/Drop period has ended, the student must submit a written request to the academic program Dean/Chair or appropriate academic administrator of the program. In order to receive a "W" on the student transcript record, the withdrawal request must be submitted prior to the end of the fifth week of the scheduled course. If the request to withdraw is submitted after the end of the fifth week of the scheduled course, the student will receive an "F". A grade of "W" does not count toward the cumulative grade point average (CGPA). A grade of “F” will be calculated toward a student’s CGPA. However, both “W” and “F” grades count toward the maximum allowable timeframe for program completion. A student's financial aid eligibility may be affected if the student withdraws from one or more classes, therefore students are urged to discuss the possibility of withdrawing from a course with their campus financial aid advisor prior to submitting a request to withdraw.
