Definition of Glossary Terms
None specified
Procedures
Students wishing to withdraw from a class must submit a withdrawal request to the Registrar’s Office.
"W” grades are not used in calculating a GPA. Course withdrawals with grades of “W” are used in determining a student’s academic load for the semester, upon which tuition charges are based. The student will be responsible for the tuition and fees for the course.
NOTE:
- A student may not withdraw from or drop MENT 100 and CLST 101, 102, 103 or 105 without permission of the Director of the Academic Success Center.
- A student may not withdraw from or drop BWVW 101 or BWVW 102 without the permission of the Christian/ Community Service Office.
Exceptions to these deadlines may be granted by the Registrar in unusual circumstances, such as extreme illness or other circumstances beyond the student’s control. If a student is unable to withdraw for a specific reason (e.g., death, incapacitation, incarceration, hospitalization, etc.) an administrative grade change to “W” may be approved by the Registrar’s Office.
