Course Withdrawal

The drop/add period is the first five days of Fall and Spring semesters and the first three days of Summer semester. During this time, students may drop and add courses with the permission of their advisor. Students may not add an 8-week class after the first class meeting has been held.

After the initial drop/add period, a student may withdraw from a class by completing a drop/ add form which must be signed by the advisor and the professor. The professor must fill in the last date of attendance on the drop/add form.

Students who withdraw from a course on or prior to the date noted in the University’s official calendar as the “last day to withdraw without receiving academic penalty” shall receive a “W” for the course and the hours will not be counted in the calculation of GPA. Students will still have to pay for the course. Classes dropped after this date will result in a grade of “W” or “WF” based on the grade at time of withdrawal, and the hours will be counted in the calculation of GPA if a grade of “WF” is earned. Students who stop attending, but do not submit appropriate forms to withdraw will receive a grade of “F.”

NOTE: Before dropping or adding a class, online cohort students must have the approval of the Regional Program Coordinator.
