1.Withdrawal Deadline and Advising Materials
The deadline date for students to withdraw from a Fall 2022 course is Friday, October 28 at 5:00 p.m. Withdrawals after this date require significant documentation and justification. The Late Drop process outlines the steps students need to take. These are approved only in truly extenuating circumstances.
Students should carefully consider multiple details before making the decision to drop a class. The Decision Tree helps walk students through this process. Always recommend that students visit the Financial Aid Office prior to dropping a course.
