Each term there is a deadline to drop or withdraw for a course. Before you drop a course, talk with your instructor, academic advisor, and a representative of the Office of Financial Aid. It may be that dropping a course may delay your chances of graduating on time or may influence whether or not you will lose your financial aid.
The grade of "F" or "U" is recorded for a course abandoned without an official drop.
Complete withdrawal from the University involves withdrawing from all courses (even if you are enrolled in only one course). Forms for a complete withdrawal are obtained only in the Advising Center. Signatures from several offices on campus are required to process a complete withdrawal.
