A student who leaves school, or drops a class, without presenting to the Registrar's Office an official withdrawal issued by the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs will receive the grade(s) of "F."

The academic calendar each semester establishes a last day to withdraw from a class (e.g., October 12, 2007, for the Fall 2007 semester). Requests to withdraw after this date must be accompanied by a statement of compelling circumstances to justify why the student should be withdrawn rather than receive a failing grade. The Assistant Dean for Student Affairs shall determine whether to grant the request.
