Maximum Course Withdrawal (Semester Hours)
Students can drop classes without penalty during the schedule change (drop/add) period at the start of the semester. Schedule change deadlines are published in the academic calendar. After the drop/add deadline, students can withdraw from no more than 16 semester hours during their undergraduate career in which a grade of "W" will be posted to a student's transcript. After a student has exceeded this limit, the student must receive a final grade of A, B, C, D, or F. A grade of Incomplete ("I") will not be allowed as a substitute for a course withdrawal beyond the course withdrawal limit. Any course that a student withdraws from is counted toward the 16 semester hour limit.
Transfer Students
Regardless of the number of colleges a student may have attended, the number of classes they may have taken, or the number of years they enroll as undergraduates, the policy limits them to 16 semester hours of course withdrawals. This includes any course a transfer student has dropped at another institution of higher education. The following chart shall be used:
