Drop without “W” Information and Instructions
Only under verifiable extenuating circumstances (i.e., accident, illness, or other
circumstances beyond ones control; supporting documentation required) may students
drop or have fees refunded after the deadline. An appropriate medical provider’s
statement on their official letterhead is required to support medical reasons.
Employment related reasons must be supported by a statement from employer on
company letterhead verifying (1) the student's new work hours and (2) the fact that this
change in schedule is a condition of continuing employment or other explanation if
applicable.
If you missed the deadline to drop a class without a “W” due to verifiable extenuating
circumstances, and the term has not yet ended, it is appropriate to complete this
petition.
This petition can no longer be accepted once a term has ended. If a student wishes to
appeal a class grade after a term has ended, he or she must appeal to the professor
using a Change of Grade petition.
In the event that your Drop Without “W” petition is denied, but the “W” deadline has not
yet occurred, Admissions and Records will assign a grade of “W”.
“W’s” do not affect your GPA, however, they do affect your academic/progress
standings and can negatively impact your Financial Aid if applicable. See the Catalog
for a complete explanation of the effect of “W’s” on your academic/progress standings.
See Financial Aid for an explanation of the effect of “W’s” on your financial aid award.
