The deadlines to add/drop and withdraw from courses are posted on the Academic Calendar. Please note that non-full term courses such as short courses have special deadlines (also noted on the Academic Calendar).
| Withdrawing from a Course | Dropping a Course |
|---|---|
| The action of withdrawing from a course is taken after the add/drop courses deadline. | Dropping a course refers to having the course removed from the student's schedule before the add/drop deadline. |
| The student is responsible for any tuition and/or fees associated with the course. | The student will not be charged any tuition and/or fees associated with the course. |
| Withdrawn credits count toward the student's total maximum credit hours. | The removed credits do not count toward the student's maximum credit hours. |
| A letter grade of 'W' is assigned to the withdrawn course and is visible on the transcript. | Since the course is entirely removed, the course will not show up on the student's transcript. |
| The student's GPA is not affected. | |
