Students should understand that enrolling in a course is a serious commitment, and are advised to drop/withdraw from a course only when they have exhausted all other avenues and do not feel they will be able to earn a passing grade. In this case, a student may request to drop by contacting his or her academic advisor. The following guidelines apply:
Dropping during the Grace Period (without “W” grade)
For requests submitted by the “last day to drop without a “W” grade” as per the academic calendar, courses dropped will not appear on the student’s transcript.
Course Withdraw
For requests submitted by the “last day to withdraw with a “W” as per the academic calendar, courses dropped will appear on a student’s transcript with a “W” grade but will not impact the students grade point average.
Withdraw Restrictions
Students should consider dropping a course only when they have no other alternative. Should a student withdraw from three (3) or more courses, he or she will be placed on an advising hold and will be unable to re-enroll until cleared by Student Affairs.
