Undergraduate students receive a grade of “W” for classes dropped from the eighth calendar day of the term through approximately 80% of the term. You can find this semester’s last day to withdraw on the academic calendar.  

A student should consult with the Office of Financial Assistance before withdrawing if: 

• A student would drop below 12 hours for the term after a course withdrawal. 

• A student has multiple withdrawals on their transcript. A student must successfully complete 67% of the classes they attempt to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress.  Multiple withdrawals can have a negative impact on this and may put a student at risk of loss of Financial Aid.
