Course Withdrawal Policy

After the add/drop period has ended, students may withdraw from a course through the end of the course withdrawal period (see academic calendar) for deadlines.

Course withdrawals are not eligible for a refund of tuition and fees. After a course withdrawal is processed, a “W” will be entered for the course on the student’s transcript. Note: W’s do not affect the GPA. No credits will be EARNED, but will count towards ATTEMPTED credits.

Before you withdraw from a course: 

Students are strongly urged to talk to their advisor and the course instructor before withdrawing from a course.

Students in the following groups are STRONGLY advised to contact the appropriate office prior to withdrawing from a course to ensure there are no unintended consequences:
