Dropping Courses during Week One
Within the first week of a semester, a student may drop classes via the student portal without having to obtain the signature of a faculty member. No grade of W will appear on the student’s transcript because of dropping classes during this week, and the classes will be dropped as a “never attended” as long as the student’s academic load does not fall below 12 credit hours for full-time students or six credit hours for half-time students.
Note: The following is an exception to the policy described above: A grade of W will appear on the transcripts of students whose status changes from full-time to half-time or from half-time to less than half-time as a result of dropping a class during the first week if the student attended the class before dropping it.
