Drop/Ad
d/Withdrawal Policy
Policy: Courses officially dropped by the student before the 10 percent date of the semester will not appear on the
student’s transcript and no grade will be assigned.
Student init
iated course or program withdrawals after the 10 percent date of the semester, but prior to the 61 percent
point of the semester will be issued a course grade of "WD" (Official Withdrawal). The “WD” grade is non-punitive and
does not affect the student’s grade point average.
Instructor initiated course or program withdrawals after the 10 percent date of the semester due to a violation of
the attendance policy will earn a course grade of "UW," (Unofficial Withdrawal). The “UW” grade is punitive and is
factored into the grade point average as a grade of “F.”
A student
officially withdrawing from a course or program after the Last Day to Withdraw Without Academic Penalty
will be issued the course grade earned reduced by the work missed in the remainder of the class, which in most cases
will be an "F."
