Withdraw

Between the end of the Add/Drop Period and completion of 60% of the semester or summer session as indicated on the academic calendar, a student may initiate withdrawal from a course(s) by completing the electronic Withdrawal form, to be submitted to the Office of the Records and Registration. The grade “W” will be assigned to the course(s) from which a student withdraws. A grade of “W” is not calculated in the GPA; however, it is calculated in credit hours attempted as described in ADM 2.06: Satisfactory Academic Progress.

• Once the withdrawal period has ended (60% point in the semester or summer session), the student will receive a final grade for the course(s).
• Lack of attendance: If a student is withdrawn from a course due to lack of attendance as described in ADM 2.08: College Attendance, this will count toward one of the withdrawal stipulations.
• Co-requisite course requirements: If a student withdraws (or is withdrawn) from a course with a co- requisite(s), the student will also be withdrawn from the co-requisite(s) and receive a grade of “W” (Withdraw). This includes students withdrawing from a course with an associated practicum course. See ACA 3.01 Prerequisites and Corequisites.
• Maximum number of withdrawals: A student is allowed to receive a grade of “W” (Withdraw) one time in each course after the add/drop period but prior to the completion of 60% of the semester or summer session as indicated on the academic calendar. There is not a maximum to the number of courses a student may withdraw from per semester or summer session; however, two semesters or summer sessions is the maximum a student can receive a grade or grades of “W” while enrolled in the program.
