Drop/Withdrawal From Course
Students may drop a course completely during the first of classes during the fall or spring semester and may drop a course completely during the first day of class in each summer term. Students may withdraw from a course without academic penalty (earn a grade of W) during the subsequent four weeks of the fall or spring semester and may withdraw from a course during the subsequent four class days of each summer term.
After the course withdrawal period, if circumstances arise which would directly impact the student's ability to fulfill the course requirements of a specific class, the student may complete a Petition form to withdraw from individual classes. The Petition will be considered only if it presents circumstances which are 1) compelling, 2) non‑academic and 3) beyond the control of the student (e.g., extended illness or related distress) and which 4) would directly impact the student's ability to fulfill the course requirements.
*No laboratory section offered by the Division of Biological and Physical Science or clinical section offered by the School of Nursing may be added after that lab/clinical section has met for the first time.
