Academic Calendar, Course Add/Drop, and Course Withdrawal
Bachelor's Degree-Completion Students
Students may ADD courses no less than two weeks prior to the start of the course(s).
Students must request to DROP courses by the drop deadline and may do so for any course in which academic participation has not occurred. The permanent academic record will not reflect courses dropped during this period. Students who have academically participated in the course during the drop period will not be dropped, but will be withdrawn according to the withdrawal and refund schedule.
During the time extending from the first day of the course to the last day of week six of the course, a grade of W will be entered on the permanent academic record for any course withdrawal, whether initiated by the student or the administration. After the withdrawal deadline, a grade of F will be entered on the permanent academic record for any course withdrawal unless the dean of the college approves the assignment of a grade of W.
Consult the schedule below for exact add/drop and withdrawal deadlines.
