Reminders
Students may freely drop courses before the last day of add/drop activity without notation on their transcripts (some courses have special add/drop and withdrawal deadlines as noted in the Curriculum Guide). After the add/drop deadline, course withdrawals must be approved by an academic advisor and are subject to the Tuition Refund Schedule. A withdrawal notation (“W”) will be posted to the transcript for the withdrawn course. See Course Withdrawals for the full policy, instructions, and the request form.
For Cross-Campus enrollment procedures and credit policies, see “Credit for Courses in the Undergraduate or Graduate Schools of the University” chapter of the Student Handbook.
