Withdrawing from a Class

The drop/add period for the Fall and Spring semesters is always the first week of class. This is the only opportunity a student has to add or remove classes from his/her schedule online.

There is a schedule for dropping, adding, and withdrawing from classes posted online: Academic Deadlines.

After the end of the first week of classes, any courses removed from a student's schedule will be considered a withdraw and will result in a grade of WD recorded on the transcript. This grade does not affect the student's GPA at all.

If a student withdraws from a class after the withdraw deadline, they will receive a grade of WF (withdraw-fail), which is calculated as an F in the student's GPA.

Courses that run for part of the term have different add/drop/withdraw schedules than those that run the entire term. Please carefully review the academic deadline schedule for the deadlines to add and drop these courses.

Any schedule adjustments made (adding, dropping, or withdrawing) after the end of the first week of classes must be done on paper (with an adviser's signature) in the Registrar's Office. It cannot be done online.

For full information about withdrawal policies, please refer to the Utica College Catalog.
