(scroll down for complete information)

Deadlines for Withdrawal from Courses

Students ceasing class attendance after the last date to

withdraw will be awarded a final grade based on the normal

course requirements, with a numerical value of “0”

calculated into the final grade for all course requirements

not completed. Ceasing to attend class does not constitute

an official withdrawal. Students must notify the Registrar’s

office by e-mail before the withdrawal date in order to

withdraw from a course. Withdrawal dates are shown in

the Academic Calendar.

1. Withdrawal from Day Courses

There is no academic or financial penalty for dropping a

course on or before the sixth business day of the semester,

which coincides with the end of online registration

for the term. However, tuition is not refundable and the

grade of “W” is imposed if the withdrawal occurs after

that time. No withdrawals may be made after the tenth

week of the semester.

2. Withdrawal from Evening Courses

Students may drop a course without academic or financial

penalty during the first six business days of the start of

the semester, which coincides with the end of online registration

for the term. However, after the first six business

days of the start of the semester but on or before the day

of the fourth class meeting, one-third of tuition becomes

nonrefundable and a grade of “W” is posted for withdrawals

which occur during this time. After the fourth

class meeting day, tuition becomes nonrefundable and a

grade of “W” is given for the course withdrawn. No

withdrawals may be made after the tenth week of the

semester.

students who withdraw from a course will receive a grade

of “W” and will not receive any tuition refund. No withdrawals

may be made after the fifth week of the course.

For half-semester courses that meet in the evening, there

will be no academic or financial penalty for dropping a
