About Course Withdrawals

Matriculated Undergraduate and Graduate Students:

Documented course withdrawal from March 24 through May 4, 2012 may be petitioned if a student believes that their circumstances are extraordinary (poor performance in a course is not an extraordinary circumstance). It must be done on a Late Documented Withdrawal Form, have the necessary signatures, have documentation ( a health care provider’s verification of student illness [physical or psychological] or of major illness of immediate family member; copy of obituary, listing relationship of deceased to student, letter from student’s employer) submitted with the form and there is a $20 fee.

A grade of WP will be assigned by the instructor if the student is passing the course at the time the form is filed; a grade of WF will be assigned by the instructor if the student is failing the course at the time the form is filed; a grade of WN will be assigned by the instructor if no grade has been established at the time the form is filed. These grades are not used to calculate a GPA , but the hours are counted as hours for which the student was enrolled that semester.
