The information that follows will be reviewed with you by the Office of Assistant to the Dean of Student Affairs staff.  We provide it to you now to help you consider your options.

---

Students who find it necessary to withdraw from ALL classes during a semester or session must report immediately to the Assistant to the Vice President for Student Affairs (AD 238) to complete an application for withdrawal.  Withdrawal from all classes at any time on or after the first day of classes must be on the required form and filed in this office.

Withdrawal Period

From the first day of classes to the

45th day of classes in a semester,
30th day of classes in a summer semester, or
15th day of classes in a summer session.

The grade of "W" is automatically given for each class in which a student is registered when withdrawal from all classes is accomplished during this period.

Abandonment of a class or classes will normally result in the issuance of an "F" grade.

When a student withdraws from all classes, each faculty member is notified on the Withdrawal Notice form.  The faculty member in whose class the student is registered will record the last date of attendance and the grade and report the grade at the end of the semester or session.

Withdrawal After the Withdrawal Period Because of Verifiable Extenuating Circumstances.

If there are verifiable extenuating circumstances which make withdrawal necessary and academically justified after the withdrawal period, the Assistant to the Vice President for Student Affairs (or designate) may grant an exception to the above withdrawal policies.  Each faculty member is responsible for determining the grade to be assigned.
