Thursday, Sept. 18, is the last day to withdraw from first-module courses. Withdrawing from a course is an option when you are certain you are no longer in a position to pass.
Questions to Consider Before Withdrawing:
- Have you talked with your professor and advisor about whether you can catch up in the class? (See these office hour tips.)
- Have you used all available resources? For example, visit the Sagan Academic Resource Center to see whether tutoring or time management/study skills coaching could make a difference.
- Could you get a D-? Even a D- in a class will count toward graduation; you just need an overall GPA of 2.0. Do not withdraw if things aren’t going perfectly. There is still time to have a better experience and pass!
Course Withdrawal Process and Considerations:
- To withdraw from a course, use the Course Withdrawal Request Form.
- Withdrawing from a course places a “W” on your transcript but does not impact your GPA.
- Although your GPA is protected with a withdraw, you may make academic progress more slowly because a withdrawn course does not count toward graduation units.
