Academic Withdrawal Deadline – Saturday, November 15
Although the deadline has passed for receiving a financial adjustment for withdrawing from an early fall, full fall or fall/winter course, your student may drop a course to avoid a failure or a poor grade showing up on their student record and affecting their CGPA. This is called Academic Withdrawal.
Academic Withdrawals will create no financial change to fall term fees and will result in a grade of Withdrawn (WDN) appearing on the official transcript. WDN is a permanent notation signifying no academic credit. WDN will not impact CGPA.
The Academic Withdrawal deadline for full fall and late fall courses is Saturday, November 15, 2025. After this date, students will not be able to drop the course. For all academic deadlines, review the academic year calendar.
