Dropping/Withdrawing from Courses

Dropping a Course
Courses may be dropped during the Add/Drop period in the first two weeks of the semester (one week in summer sessions) online via Workday Student. When a course is dropped, no record of the student’s enrollment in the course remains on the student transcript.

Withdrawing from a Course
After the Add/Drop period has passed, students may withdraw from a course up to one week before the last day of classes. When a student withdraws from a course, a grade of “W” is recorded on the transcript. The grade of “W” does not affect the student’s graduating GPA.

Students may withdraw from a course on their own up to the tenth class session of the semester. After the tenth class session, permission to withdraw from a course will be granted at the discretion of the course instructor and Graduate Academics & Student Success. 

Withdrawing from a course may impact your status as a full-time student. International students should consult with the Office of International Student and Scholar Services before withdrawing from a course as it may have implications on immigration status.
