SCHEDULE CHANGES AND WITHDRAWALS

Fall 2008 Schedule Changes during Add/Drop Period

Students may add classes during the first five class days (August 25 – August 29). After the first five class days, all additions must be approved by the instructor of the class.

Students may drop classes (without a grade recorded) during the first eleven class days of the semester (August 25 – September 8).

Short-term courses may be dropped before 15 percent of the course duration has passed without a record of the dropped course appearing on a student’s permanent record.

Fall 2008 Course Withdrawal after the Drop Period

Immediately following the end of the drop/add period, students may withdraw from a course according to the policies below.

INDIVIDUAL COURSE WITHDRAWALS ARE PROCESSED IN THE RECORDS OFFICE (AD 202).

Last date for grade of (W)

Full-term course         October 24 by 5 p.m.
Short-term course      Before 60 percent of the course duration has passed

When a student withdraws from a course before 60 percent of the course duration has passed, a grade of “W” (withdrawal) will be recorded on the academic record. After 60 percent of the course duration has passed, a student may not withdraw. Tuition and fees will not be adjusted for individual course withdrawals during this withdrawal period. Course withdrawals must be processed in the Records Office. Please refer to the following table:

Once students have registered for a course, they are considered enrolled in that course until they have officially withdrawn from the course in the Records Office. Simply not attending class will not automatically terminate the student's enrollment in the course. A student who ceased attendance without first officially withdrawing from the course will receive a failing grade and will be charged full tuition and fees.

Total Withdrawal from the University

To withdraw totally from the University, a student must obtain the appropriate withdrawal form from Student Academic Services (SAS), Psychology Building, Room 232, secure the appropriate approval signatures, and return the completed form immediately to the Records Office for processing. Total withdrawals will not be processed after the last scheduled class day of the semester, this excludes finals week.
