Engineering student requests for authorized withdrawal from a course without penalty (WX) will be granted until approximately three-and-a-half weeks after midterm break. (View the Academic Calendar for official date.)
Any student wishing to withdraw (WX) during the appropriate time period, must complete the Course Withdrawal Form. The form can be found on the Current Engineering Undergraduate Students Intranet site.
Only in extreme cases, such as serious personal or medical emergencies, that specifically occurred on or around the date of the normal WX deadline and therefore prevented the student from requesting a WX prior to the published deadline, will a late WX be considered for approval by the College. Supporting documentation, such as doctor’s notes or health center records, is required.
Students who do not have a justifiable cause to withdraw from a course after the authorized date may still withdraw from the course and receive a grade of “W”. The grade of “W” is equivalent to an “F” grade and is included in computing the student’s grade point average (GPA) and technical grade point average (TGPA) if appropriate.
