Withdrawal Definitions
Course Withdrawal
A student drops a single course from his/her/their term schedule during the designated withdrawal period. Before the end of the drop/add period, the dropped course is simply deleted; after the drop/add period and up to the midpoint of that class, the dropped course is reflected on the official academic transcript as a ‘W.’
University Withdrawal
A student drops all courses from his/her/their term schedule after the end of the drop/add period during the designated withdrawal period. A university withdrawal is reflected on the official academic transcript as a ‘W’ for each course. After the designated withdrawal period students will be assigned a “W” for each course the student is passing at the point of withdrawal and an “F” for each course the student is failing at the point of withdrawal. Students involved in an open student conduct investigation may only be granted a University Withdrawal once the investigation is completed and a decision rendered.
Medical Withdrawal
A student withdraws from all courses on his/her/their term schedule as a result of an inhibiting, debilitating, or otherwise incapacitating medical event after the drop/add period but before the last week of classes. A medical withdrawal is granted only upon satisfactory review of evidence of the medical event by the Office of the Dean of Students. A medical withdrawal is reflected on the official academic transcript as a ‘WD’ for each course. Students involved in an open student conduct investigation may only be granted a Medical Withdrawal once the investigation is completed and a decision rendered.
