Dropping a Course and Withdrawal
The drop period for full semester courses ends on the first Sunday following the beginning of the semester. A dropped course is not reflected on the student’s transcript. The withdrawal period then begins and lasts through 75% of the course. Withdrawal means the student attempted the course but did not complete any credit; the grade of W will appear on the student’s transcript. Students are responsible for all tuition and fees associated with withdrawn courses. No course may be withdrawn from after 75% of the course has elapsed. Students will be issued a grade after this deadline. Drop and Withdraw deadlines for non-standard courses can be found on the student’s schedule in MyCSI.
In order to withdraw from one or more courses, a completed Add/Drop/Withdraw form is required, which can be found in MyCSI or at the Enrollment Services Office. Students withdrawing from all credited courses must submit the form to the Enrollment Services Office or any off-campus center.
W grades can have a negative consequences, including negatively impacting students’ eligibility for Federal Financial Aid. While considering the academic standing benefits, students should carefully consider the consequences of Ws before withdrawing from courses including eligibility to continue in a chosen major.
