If you are currently at full-time status, 12 or more credits, withdrawing from a course does not affect your financial aid, housing, or full-time status. You simply receive a grade of “W” for the course and do not earn the credits for the course. Withdrawing from a course may impact athletic eligibility.

If you withdraw from a course later than the second Friday after mid-session of the fall or winter session, or later than the second Monday of the spring session, you will receive an “F” for the course. Exceptions to this policy will only be allowed in unusual circumstances by petitioning the Academic Standings Committee. Make sure to understand and complete the student petition of academic policy.
