Withdrawing from a Class After Drop/Add Period

1. Students are allowed to withdraw from an individual course using CentralLink if they do so before the published deadline. The student will receive an e-mail that the withdrawal has been received by the Registrar’s Office.
2. At the time of the withdrawal, the student will be asked to indicate a reason for withdrawal and indicate their attendance in the course (never attended or the last date attended).
3. Students will receive W grades as an indicator of withdrawal through the tenth week of the Fall or Spring semester or through the midpoint of all courses shorter than one semester. No individual course may be withdrawn after this time.
4. Faculty will receive an e-mail regarding the withdrawal and the attendance reported by the student. The instructor will notify the Registrar’s Office if he/she shows a different attendance period than reported by the student. Also, in cases involving academic dishonesty, the instructor will notify the Registrar’s Office and the course will be reinstated. The final grade determination shall be left to the discretion of the instructor.
5. Under unusual circumstances, a student may appeal to the Registrar for exceptions to this policy. If a waiver is approved, the Registrar’s Office shall notify the instructor of this action.
