University Withdrawal

A University Withdrawal is officially discontinuing ALL classes for which a student is registered on or after the 1^st day of classes through the 50th class day in a semester (or equivalent).

The official effective withdrawal date is determined by the date the student submits the withdrawal form. A student communicating their desire to withdraw to their advisor, or other faculty/staff member, does not constitute a University Withdrawal. A University Withdrawal is only initiated once the student submits a University Withdrawal form.

A W does not impact the student's GPA but does count as an attempt in the course.

For information regarding the differences between a Drop and a University Withdrawal, please see information at this link.
