Undergraduate Late Drop and Semester Withdrawal
Go to: Types of Withdrawals | Fa '23 Late Drop/Withdrawals | Retroactive Drop/Withdrawals | FAQs | Calendar
Types of Withdrawals
There are two types of approved late withdrawals: WA and WB. Both show on the official transcript as a “W”. The symbol “W” on the official transcript indicates that the student was approved to withdraw from the course after the drop deadline. It carries no connotation of quality of the student's performance and is not used in calculating grade point average or progress points.
Late Drops/Withdrawals
We recommend gathering required documentation before submitting any petition to avoid denial/cancellation of request. Open University students need to use the Undergraduate Late Course Drop/Semester Withdrawal forms.
NOTE: Approval of your late course drop, or semester withdrawal petition does not guarantee a refund of tuition and fees, or financial aid. Please contact the Bursar’s Office or the Financial Aid Office regarding this. For the Winter and Summer session please contact College of Professional and Global Education (CPGE).
