All withdrawals are subject to university regulations concerning credit or refunds of fees.
Graduate students who find it necessary to leave the university while they are taking courses should, if possible, confer with the Dean of Graduate Studies and Research before they withdraw. Graduate students who do not follow the requisite procedure may jeopardize their academic status or, by not meeting the necessary deadlines, fail to receive the full amount of any financial refunds to which they would otherwise be entitled. Graduate students who cease to attend classes without taking other action are not considered to have officially withdrawn, and in such cases the failing grade of F is recorded on their permanent records. Graduate students are allowed to alter their schedules, with the permission of the Dean of Graduate Studies and Research. Both WP and WF are entered on the permanent record, but the grade of WF is figured into the graduate student s quality point average, while the grade of WP is not.
