Academic Withdrawal
The academic withdrawal deadline to drop a full-fall or late-fall term course is Wednesday, November 15, 2023. After this date, you will no longer be able to drop any fall term courses. An academic withdrawal will create no financial change to fall term fees and will result in a grade of Withdrawn (WDN) appearing on your official transcript. WDN will not impact your CGPA.
Dates and Deadlines
Don't miss a deadline. Be sure to visit the Dates and Deadlines webpage for all important registration-related dates. As a reminder, the last day of the fall term is Friday, December 8, 2023, and classes follow a Monday schedule.
