REGISTRATION

DROPPING COURSES

A student is expected to follow the course schedule for which he/she registers. However, prior to the completion of 33 percent of a course, a student may initiate withdrawal from a course and the grade recorded will be W. After the completion of 33 percent of a course and prior to completion of 85 percent of a course, a student may still initiate withdrawal from a course but the grade recorded will be F or W based on the academic average at the time of withdrawal. During the last 15 percent of a course, a student may not initiate withdrawal from a course. When a student initiates withdrawal from a course, the withdrawal is not complete until the student fills out a Drop Form, obtains all required signatures in the proper order, and delivers the form to the Registrar's Office.

A faculty member may withdraw a student from his/her course for a violation of the stated attendance policy at any time during a semester. Prior to the completion of 33 percent of a course, a faculty member may withdraw a student from a course for a violation of the stated attendance policy and the grade recorded will be W. After the completion of 33 percent of a course, a faculty member may still withdraw a student from a course for a violation of the stated attendance policy but the grade recorded will be F or W based on the academic average at the time of withdrawal. When a faculty member withdraws a student from a course, the withdrawal is not complete until the faculty member fills out an Automatic Dropping of Students Form, obtains the signature of the department chair or dean, and delivers the form to the Registrar's Office.
