(A) Withdrawal from the university during a
			 semester, summer term, or session, constitutes withdrawal from all courses in
			 which a student is enrolled during that semester, summer term, or session. Upon
			 official notification of the student's withdrawal from the university, the
			 university registrar is authorized to enter the dated notation "withdrew" on
			 the student's official permanent record.
(B) To withdraw from any or all courses, a
			 student must file the appropriate form with the authorized representative of
			 the dean or director of the student's enrollment unit.
(C) Until close of business of the fourth
			 Friday of a semester or summer term; the second Friday of a seven-week session
			 during a semester, or a six- or eight-week session during summer term; or the
			 first Friday of a four-week summer session, a student may withdraw from any or
			 all courses which began in the same semester, summer term, or session and no
			 record for the course(s) will be entered on the student's official permanent
			 record.
(D) After close of
			 business of the fourth Friday of a semester or summer term; the second Friday
			 of a seven-week session during a semester, or a six- or eight-week session
			 during summer term; or the first Friday of a four-week summer session, if a
			 student withdraws from any or all courses which began in the same semester,
			 summer term, or session, the university registrar is authorized to enter the
			 mark "W" on the student's official permanent record for the courses withdrawn.
(E) Until close of business on the
			 following days, student may submit a form in their enrollment unit to drop a
			 course or withdraw from the university:
(1)
			 The tenth Friday, for courses taken during a full-term autumn, spring, or
			 summer semester
(2) The sixth
			 Friday, for courses taken during an eight-week summer session
(3) The fifth Friday, for courses taken
			 during a seven-week session in an autumn or spring semester
(4) The fourth Friday, for courses taken
			 during a six-week summer session
(5) The third Friday, for courses taken
			 during a four-week summer session
After those dates, a student, who because of circumstances
				beyond their control finds it necessary to withdraw from any or all courses,
				must file the appropriate petition with the authorized representative of the
				dean or director of the enrollment unit. Reasons not acceptable include (but
				are not limited to) the student's performance in the course(s), lack of
				preparation for the course(s), or dissatisfaction with the subject matter
				offered in the course(s). If the petition is approved, a copy will be filed
				with the university registrar who is then authorized to enter the mark "W" on
				the student's official permanent record and the instructor(s) of the course(s)
				will be so notified. If the petition is not approved, the student continues to
				be enrolled in the course(s) and a final mark must be submitted by the
				instructor(s). Withdrawal from any and all courses shall not be permitted after
				the last day of regularly scheduled classes except when the student experiences
				a genuine emergency after the regularly scheduled classes end and prior to
				sitting for the final examination in a given course or courses.
