Withdrawal from Courses

The grade of W indicates withdrawal from a course. Students wishing to withdraw from a course must meet the following requirements: Within the first seven calendar days of the quarter, students may withdraw from any course with no record of the individual course withdrawal on their permanent academic record. After the “no- record drop” deadline, students may withdraw with a W grade from any course, but only for serious and compelling reasons.

In some cases, reduced tuition may apply. Please refer to the financial aid section of the catalog for further information.

After the deadline for withdrawal (last day of the seventh week- refer to the calendar), a student may request permission to be allowed to withdraw from all of her/his classes because of a medical emergency or extraordinary circumstance by submitting a withdrawal form to the appropriate Program Dean/Academic Dean. The W designation carries no connotation of quality of student performance and is not calculated in the grade point average.
