Dropping, Adding, Withdrawing, and Repeating Courses

The following policies apply to students who drop, add, withdraw, or repeat courses.

• A student may add or drop a course during the first week of classes with the approval of the Registrar.
• Any change to a schedule after registration day is subject to a change fee.
• Students are strongly discouraged from withdrawing from a class after the first week of classes. Students seeking to withdraw from a course within the first four weeks of class must request permission to do so from the Academic Dean. Students approved for withdrawal will receive a “W” grade, which will not be calculated into their grade point average.
• Students generally will not be permitted to withdraw from a course after the first four weeks of class. Withdrawal from a course after the first four weeks will result in the student receiving a “WF” grade (withdrawal with a failing grade) or a “WP” (withdrawal with a passing grade). WF and WP grades are both assigned zeroes on the grade point scale and will be calculated into the student’s grade point average, unless special permission for the late withdrawal is secured from the Academic Dean.
• In the event that a student must repeat a course in order to satisfy a minimum grade requirement for his major, the original grade and the repeated grade will both be included in the overall grade point average. The grade for the repeated course will be reflected on the official transcript with a capital R next to the numeric grade.
