Course Withdrawal

Students are permitted to withdraw from degree courses during the official published withdrawal period. A grade of “W” will be assigned on the student’s transcript. The grade of W will not affect a student’s Grade Point Average (GPA).

Students withdrawing from any course should discuss the decision with their instructor, academic advisor, and with a student counselor. Students should be aware that withdrawal from a course may have an impact on their scholarship terms and timely progress toward graduation.

All students are expected to maintain full-time status by carrying a minimum load of 12 credit hours per semester. A student who fails to complete 12 credit hours in a semester is issued an academic progress warning and may be required to meet with a counselor.

A student who withdraws from a course after the deadline for withdrawal has passed will be assigned a grade of WF (withdraw failing). The grade of WF is equivalent to an F (0.0 quality points) and is used in the calculation of the GPA (see ACA 3350 Grading System, GPA, and Course Repetition). Upon appeal, this grade may be changed to a WP.
