You may drop a course through the eighth business day of the term.
A drop through the eighth business day of the term will result in the course being removed from your academic record.
A course dropped between the ninth business day of the term and through the ninth week of the term will result in a grade of "W" (withdrawal) on your academic record.
You may drop mini-courses and summer session courses on a schedule with the same proportion as is used for Fall and Spring terms. If you drop a mini-course after the regular drop-delete deadline, you will receive a grade of "W." (See the current term’s schedule of classes for dates.)
Be aware that if you are receiving financial aid or have a graduate assistantship, dropping a course may jeopardize your eligibility for continued funding. See the section titled Continuing Eligibility for Financial Aid in the Financial Information portion of this catalog.
To request an exception to the drop policy you may file the Petition to Drop a Class After the Deadline form located on the Registrar's Office website. The petition form requires signature approvals, along with documentation of the extenuating circumstance. In applying for an exception, you must attach the required form of documentation as stated on the form. Petitions for exceptions are not automatically approved.
If you have not participated in a course but also have not officially dropped that course and your name appears on the final grade report, you will receive a failing grade ("F") for that course. Your instructor cannot record a "W" on the final grade report. (If you wish to withdraw from all courses in a term, see Withdrawing from All Courses in a Term.)
