Courses dropped after the last day to drop a course without academic penalty will receive a grade of "WF". Grades of "WF" are calculated the same as grades of "F" into the student's GPA and are included in the attempted hours.
If a student stops attending a course without officially withdrawing from it, the final grade will be an "F".
In extreme circumstances, a student may submit an appeal to drop a course without penalty after the drop date of the current term. The link below provides the forms for withdrawal from the current them.
Retroactive Grade Change (Previous Semester)
In extreme circumstances, a student my submit an appeal to have grades retroactively changed to "W". Appeals are only appropriate in situations that were severe and out of the student's control.
