Course Withdrawal Deadline

The last day to drop a class for the Fall 2012 semester is Monday, October 1, 2012. The following is the official policy regarding late withdrawal from a course as stated on page 42 of the Fall 2012 Undergraduate Catalog.

Late Withdrawal from a Course • After the course withdrawal deadline, a student may drop a course only in cases of extreme and unavoidable emergency as determined the student’s academic dean. Unacceptable reasons for late withdrawal include dissatisfaction over an expected grade or a change in a student’s degree program or major. In no case may a class be dropped after the last regular class day in any semester, session, or term.

Courses dropped after the course withdrawal deadline will still appear on the student’s official transcript. The W mark will be recorded if the student is passing the course at the time of withdrawal; the F grade will be recorded if the student is failing.

Students who wish to petition for a late withdrawal from a course should contact the Office of Student Services in 320 Lester Hall.
