Course Withdrawal


Students may request one or more course withdrawals in PrideNET between the drop deadline and the course withdrawal deadline (e.g., established at the completion of 80% of the date range of the course).  Withdrawing from coursework may impact a student’s tuition, financial aid, athletic eligibility, etc. Students are encouraged to contact their advisor before submitting their request on PrideNET.  Requests must be supported by the student’s advisor for consideration. Requests will not be considered if submitted by any other party on behalf of the student or when the advisor does not support the request. 

Approved course withdrawals will be reflected as a ‘W’ grade on the student’s official transcript.  A ‘W’ grade counts as attempted credit hours but does not factor into a student’s grade point average calculations. See the Grading & GPA Computation policy for additional information.

Exceptions to the course withdrawal deadline will only be considered for documented medical or other extraordinary, extenuating circumstances.  Exceptions to the course withdrawal deadline can only be made by the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs.

Students who wish to withdraw from their full course schedule must follow the Existing the College policy to request a leave of absence or withdrawal.
