W (Withdrawal)

W is assigned when a student officially withdraws from a course. A student may withdraw for any reason without academic penalty, provided written or electronic notice is received by that individual’s student advisor or the Office of the Registrar prior to the 80 percent completion point of the course.

When a request for withdrawal is received by the Office of the Registrar, it is carefully reviewed for compliance with federal financial aid regulations before a W is assigned for the course.
