Institutional Sanctions

The following shall apply when a student has been absent, either excused or unexcused, for more than 20% of scheduled class meetings in which s/he is currently enrolled (including excused absences).

If the 20% limit is reached on or before the last day to withdraw from classes, as specified in the academic calendar, then the Student Information System will automatically assign a letter grade of WA (Withdrawn Administratively).
In all other cases a letter grade of WF (Withdrawn after Deadline) will be assigned.
All appeals should be referred to the Student Appeals Committee which will provide a recommendation to the chief academic officer whose decision shall be final. Students applying for an appeal must provide all necessary documentation within three days of the grade (WA or WF) notification.
