Student petition for a withdrawal at various points in the semester for various reasons. Detailed below are evaluations that should be made when processing a withdrawal.
If it is prior to the beginning of the semester, including the first four days of the drop/add period, perform an administrative cancellation to remove classes and fees from a student's schedule.
After the fourth day of classes (or for any previous semester) perform a withdrawal to update a student's schedule.
IMPORTANT! Even if you are withdrawing a student from a class/es in the current semester, always ensure that a grade/s was not already assigned. If a grade is associated with the class/es in question, you must first remove it, or change it to a W or WD value, depending on the student's circumstances. The process of posting the withdrawal as described below does not remove already-assigned grades. Jump to the bottom of this topic to review how to change grades prior to performing a withdrawal.
