Enrollment - Add, Drop, Withdraw
Students will be administratively enrolled for all required core courses, except for courses taken in the third year for full-time students and fourth year for part-time students. Information about self-registration will be distributed to students when appropriate.
Students who self-register will do so online via myWilmU during the prescribed registration period. Registration materials will be posted online in advance. Students will be permitted to add and drop self-registered courses on myWilmU from the time registration opens for the term through the first week of the semester. No credits may be added following the end of the first week of the semester.
Students who wish to drop or withdraw from a required core course must make a written request to the Associate Dean for Academics, and permission will be granted only upon a showing of extraordinary circumstances.
Dropping a course following the first week of the semester is considered a course withdrawal and requires the permission of the Associate Dean for Academics. A grade of “W” will be recorded on the transcript, except in extraordinary circumstances and with the approval of the Associate Dean for Academics. No withdrawals are permitted after the last day of classes in the term, except in extraordinary circumstances and with the approval of the Associate Dean for Academics. If the student does not notify the Associate Dean for Academics of their intent to withdraw in writing by the last day of classes in a term, a failing grade will be entered for every course in which the student has not completed all course requirements.
Students who withdraw from courses may be liable for all the tuition and fees for those courses, in accordance with Wilmington University’s tuition refund and credit policy and must comply with all financial aid rules with respect to any loan monies they may have received. Students should be aware that if their credit load for the semester drops below six (6) credits, they may no longer be eligible for federal financial aid and that any aid distributed to them may have to be returned immediately. Students should also be aware that withdrawals may cause other financial aid implications, such as failure to meet Satisfactory Academic Progress. Any student considering a withdrawal should arrange a meeting with the Financial Aid Office before finalizing their withdrawal.
