Impact of Dropping or Withdrawing from Courses
Dropping a course or withdrawing from all your courses after the end of the 100% refund period will result in a "W" grade on your transcript for that term. This "W" grade can negatively affect your completion rate, which must be at least 67% to maintain satisfactory academic progress.
Advisement Before Dropping or Withdrawing
Students are strongly encouraged to speak with both an Academic Advisor and the Office of Financial Aid before making any decisions to drop a course or withdraw from all classes. This consultation will help you understand the financial and academic implications of your decision.
