Dropping One Or More Courses (But Not All Courses): Students who withdraw from courses prior to the deadline to drop courses using WebReg will have such course registrations removed from their academic records.

Beginning the day following the deadline to drop courses using WebReg and through the last official day to drop courses, students who withdraw from courses must have instructor signatures, and a grade of "E" or "W" will be recorded on the student record. The instructor is to award the student a "W" grade if the student is passing, or an "E" grade if the student is failing at the time of withdrawal.

After the last official day to drop courses, the grade of "W" can be awarded only with the dean's approval, and only under exceptional circumstances.

See the current General Catalog for the entire, detailed policy.

Complete Withdrawal From The University: Students who formally withdraw from all courses after the last official day to drop using WebReg will be automatically assigned a grade of "WP" (Withdrawal Passing) for each class. This process does not change any grades assigned prior to the Complete Withdrawal. The "WP" grade is listed on the instructor's Class Roster within Webroster.

At the end of the term the instructor will have the right to change a "WP" grade to a "WF" grade (Withdrawal Failing, no GPA value). To change a grade from "WP" to "WF" click on "Add a Grade Comment" within the Class Roster. Include the student's name and SID along with instructions to change the grade from "WP" to "WF" in the Webroster comment.

NOTE: Complete withdrawal may not be initiated after the last day of classes of any term and must be completed before the beginning of the final examination period.
