Withdrawing from courses after the add/drop period

Students may not withdraw from the Pioneer Path courses PIO 101, 102, and 201; WRIT 102 College Composition, COMM 203 Fundamentals of Communication, or FYE 112 Cultural Transitions. Any exception to this policy can be made only by the Assistant Dean for the First Year Seminar for PIO 101, 102 or FYE 112, the chair of the Department of English for WRIT 060/110, and the chair of the Department of Communication for COMM 101.

A student has the option to withdraw from any courses except those noted above. Students withdrawing from courses after the second week of classes must obtain a Withdrawal form from the Records Office. This form, once completed and signed by the student, must be signed by the course instructor and the student’s advisor to verify that they have been consulted. If the signed form is returned to the Records Office by the end of the 9th week of classes, a grade of W will be assigned. If this is done after the 9th week of classes, a grade of WF will be assigned. The course and grade will appear on the student’s transcript. Refer to the section on Grading System below for more details.

For any physical education courses meeting fewer than the normal 15 weeks of the semester, the add/drop/withdrawal periods will be prorated by the chair of the Department of Health and Physical Education. For other courses meeting fewer than the normal 15 weeks of the semester, the add/drop/withdrawal periods will be pro-rated by the Registrar of the College.
