Withdrawal/Attendance Policy:

Students may withdraw online from a course and/or completely withdraw from the University between the last day to register (end of the Drop/Add period) and the Friday of Week 10 of the regular semester, or the date designated in the semester course schedule.

Students with registration holds on their accounts; i.e. Special populations, student on academic probation or warning will not have the ability to withdraw from a course online. In this case, the student will be required to initiate the withdrawal with a signature from the designated instructor of the course or Program Director. The Assistant Vice President of the educational area of study will approve the withdrawal. In the absence of the area Assistant Vice President, the Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs will approve the withdrawal. Upon obtaining the proper signatures and approval, the withdrawal will be forwarded to the Office of Admissions and Records for processing. A withdrawal will not be considered complete until the Office of Admissions and Records receives and processes it.

A grade of “W” will be posted for a course from which a student has officially withdrawn. Official withdrawals will count as attempted hours at the university, but will not count as a punitive grade in the calculation of the semester or overall GPA. Because a “W” grade counts in attempted hours for the term, and overall, it is very important to discuss plans to withdraw from a course with the Financial Aid Office staff, as a withdrawal from a course could affect future financial aid eligibility.

Refunds will be calculated for withdrawals according to the refund schedule/dates in the class schedule for the applicable semester.
