Withdrawal
From Individual Class(es)
- Before
the end of the regular drop period, students may drop courses
through CPReg. This results in no indication of class(es)
on official academic record.
- Between the
end of the regular add/drop period and the last day of instruction,
a student must petition to withdraw. The reasons for withdrawal
must be "serious and compelling."
- Students
may obtain the appropriate course withdrawal form from the Records
Office (01-222).
- Withdrawal
after the 7th week of the term is only permitted if an emergency
situation exists beyond the control of the student. Students may
obtain the appropriate course withdrawal form from the Records
Office (01-222).
- Any student
who fails to provide notification or who fails to obtain formal
approval to withdraw will be subject to failing grades (U, WU
or F).***
- Reasons for
withdrawal (serious and compelling/emergency) are definable by
the department approving the course withdrawal request.
If a
'WU' grade is assigned (representing a withdrawal unauthorized), each student, in their
Cal Poly academic career, has the ONE TIME ONLY option of converting
the ' WU' into a 'W'.
Please visit the Records Office to obtain the appropriate 'WU
to W' Appeal Form.
It
should be emphasized that poor grades, irregular attendance, or
dissatisfaction with the course are not in themselves sufficient
reasons for withdrawal approval.
