A course must be added no later than 12 calendar days from the beginning of term lectures. This regulation applies to Spring Term, Fall, Winter, and full-credit courses taken over the September to April academic year. Consult the Academic Dates chapter for the corresponding dates for six-week courses.

The final dates for withdrawing from courses without penalty of failure are:

Fall Term courses	Last Day of Classes
Winter Term courses	Last Day of Classes
Full-credit courses	Last Day of Classes
Six-Week courses	Last Day of Classes
Intersession, Summer Session and Spring Term Courses	Last Day of Classes

Consult the Academic Dates chapter for actual dates for withdrawal from courses without penalty of failure. A grade of "F'' will be assigned if a student withdraws after the final date.

All withdrawals from courses after two-thirds of the classes in that course have been completed, shall result in a denotation of "Withdrawn" (i.e., "WD") on the student's transcript.

Notes:

1. The onus for notifying the Office of the Registrar of withdrawal and for completing a Change Request Form rests solely upon the student. Simply ceasing to attend lectures, even if the instructor is informed, does not formally constitute withdrawal and will result in a failing grade and financial penalties.
2. A change from registration for credit to audit must be made no later than the final date for withdrawing without failure.
