After the first four weeks of instruction and before the beginning of the final three weeks of instruction withdrawal from a course or courses is permissible only for serious and compelling reasons. All requests for withdrawal during this period must be made in writing on the appropriate form and will be reviewed by the instructor and department chair or college dean.
Withdrawals are normally not permitted during the final three weeks except in verified cases of accident or serious illness where the cause of withdrawal is due to circumstances clearly beyond the student's control and where the assignment of an incomplete is not practicable. Ordinarily, withdrawals in this category will involve total withdrawal from the university. Requests are submitted on the same form as for withdrawal earlier in the term and must be reviewed by the instructor, department chair, and college dean.
