Students with outstanding admissions requirements will receive hold next week
Newly admitted students who have not submitted a final transcript or official test scores will have a hold placed on their account on Tuesday, Sept. 15. Students were notified of these requirements during the admission process and reminded via email on Aug. 10 and Sept. 2. Details on how to submit official transcripts or test scores can be found on the Sending Transcripts and Test Scores page.
Students may withdraw from courses until Nov. 2
The drop/add period concluded yesterday. Dropping a course is now considered a withdrawal and will show on transcripts with a grade of "W". Courses can be withdrawn in GoWMU until Nov. 2.
Note: A 24-hour grace period is provided to students who drop a course that meets for the first time on or after the end of the drop/add period. Students dropping a course within 24 hours of the start date should contact the Registrar's Office to make sure they receive the correct refund.
