Students may withdraw from a course during the official withdrawal period by submitting a completed Withdrawal Form.

For Winter Term courses, withdrawal grades and deadlines are determined based on the length of the term and are published annually in the Academic Calendar

Weeks 1–2 (Add/Drop Period)
Courses may be added or dropped during the add/drop period. No withdrawal grade is recorded.

Weeks 3 through Midterm
Students who officially withdraw by submitting a Withdrawal Form will receive a grade of W. Students who are administratively withdrawn by the College during this period will receive a grade of WA.

Midterm through the Last Day of Class
Students who officially withdraw by submitting a Withdrawal Form will receive a grade of W. Students who are administratively withdrawn by the College during this period will receive a grade of UF (unearned F).

A student may petition the instructor to change a UF grade to a WF. Any UF grade must be resolved by the last day of the semester in which it is recorded.

Failure to attend class does not constitute an official withdrawal. Students remain responsible for completing the withdrawal process and should be aware that withdrawing from a course may affect financial aid eligibility, academic standing, and progress toward degree completion.

Students should consult the Academic Calendar for the applicable deadline.
