02.05.04 Withdrawing from Courses (during 5th-12th week of semester)

After the fourth week of classes, course withdrawals will be noted on the student's academic transcript with a grade of W (withdrawn) or DE (withdrawn-failing) at the instructor's discretion. Instructor permission is required to withdraw from a class. Course withdrawals are not permitted after the 12th week of classes. Precise deadlines for dropping and withdrawing from courses are indicated on the official school calendar prepared by the registrar: (Academic Calendar). Tuition refunds, if any, will be made in accordance the stated refund schedule.

If a student wishing to drop or withdraw from a course is suspected by the professor of having violated the School's policy on academic integrity in connection with that course, the professor has the right to refuse to permit the student to drop the course as long as the case is under investigation. If, as a result of the investigation, it is found that the student is not guilty of the violation, she or he may drop the course without penalty even after the deadline for such withdrawal.
