Students may withdraw from courses until Nov. 1
The drop/add period concluded earlier this week. 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 Courses can be withdrawn in GoWMU until Nov. 1.
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 be encouraged to contact the Registrar's Office to make sure they receive the correct refund.
