University Withdrawals, Drops, and "I" Grades

If you are unable to complete one and/or all of your classes for any reasons, you may need to complete one of the following processes:

  • University Withdrawal
  • "I" or Incomplete Grade(s)
  • Drop/Add form

All of the above mentioned processes must be completed within a specific time frame. This time frame depends on the semester. For specific "drop dates", etc., please refer to the Schedule of Classes or the "Academic Calendar".

University Withdrawals (dropping all classes) are processed through the Dean of Students Office. The "drop" form is processed through your academic department. The drop/add form available at your department or the Registrar's Office is used to drop/add one or more courses. This process should begin with your advisor/department.

If you are enrolled for only one course and wish to discontinue that course, you must process a University Withdrawal. This is because you are ceasing to be a currently enrolled student.

Incomplete or "I" grades are processed by the faculty member. In order to be considered for an "I" grade, the student must have completed 75% of the course and be passing the course. The instructor has the final authority to approve or disapprove the "I" grade.

With all of the above processes, be prepared to supply documentation such as a doctor's note for medical reasons.

LATE FEE WAIVERS:

Late fee waivers for extremely personal circumstances beyond your control are processed by the Dean of Students Office. To process the fee waiver, you must make an appointment to see the Dean and supply supporting documentation for your request. If you received a late fee for academic reasons, see your academic Dean. If you received a late fee for financial aid reasons, see the Financial Aid Office. If you cannot complete your course for academic reasons, see your academic Dean.
