Withdrawal From All Classes for the Current Term
If you are considering an academic withdrawal from the current term, please discuss your situation with your academic advisor to consider all of your options .
When you withdraw from ALL your classes during a term:
- You will not receive a grade or credit for those classes.
- You will receive a “W” for all passing or failing coursework for each withdrawn class on your transcript
- Your GPA is not affected.
- Your hours attempted will include the classes from which you withdrew after the Last Day to Add or Drop Without a “W” Deadline.
However, there are other implications associated with withdrawing from courses including:
- Financial Aid eligibility for this and future terms
- Residence hall eligibility
The last day to withdraw from all classes for the Spring and Fall Term is during the thirteenth week of the semester, the same day as the last day to withdraw from a course. To see the dates for the current term, go to the Academic Calendar.

Important Notice

believes this date is incorrect, they may provide documentation that supports
attendance or participation beyond the last date of attendance or participation
on record.
