Withdrawal from Courses

Students wishing to withdraw from any course must receive written permission from their academic dean that states the course, the date, the professor teaching the course and the reason for withdrawal. Students wishing to withdraw from a science laboratory course must personally check out of all laboratories concerned and receive a clearance from the stockroom. Withdrawal without adhering to these regulations will result in a failure for the course.

A student may withdraw from a course anytime prior to the final five weeks of the semester. After that time a student may not officially withdraw from any course.

The date of withdrawal will be considered the date on which the "Change of Status" form is signed by the dean. A notation of WD means that the student withdrew from a course within the period in the academic calendar. The notation of AB indicates that the student did not take a final examination at its scheduled time. If the student does not take the make-up examination on the day scheduled, the AB will be changed to a grade of F.Students withdrawing from all courses should complete the proper withdrawal forms in the office of the appropriate dean. Failure to do so may jeopardize any subsequent application for readmission to the University.
