Grades of WA-WD-WU
WA Grade - Administrative Withdrawal
The grade of WA is assigned by the Office of the Registrar when a student fails to comply with the Proof of Immunization Policy of the College. The grade of WA is not computed in the grade point average. WA grades may affect student eligibility for financial aid.
WD Grade - Withdrew Drop
The WD grade is assigned by the Office of the Registrar when the student who has attended at least one class session drops a course after the financial aid certification date but before the end of the refund period. The WD grade does not appear on the student's transcript.
WU Grade - Withdrew Unofficially
A grade of WU is to be assigned to students who participated in an academic activity related to the class at least once, stopped participating, did not drop the class or receive approval for an incomplete, did not otherwise officially withdraw from the course, and did not complete enough work for the instructor to be able to calculate an earned grade using the criteria delineated in the course syllabus.
An F grade should never be given in place of a WU grade.
As of Fall 2021, the WU grade is not computed in the grade point average. Students who want to withdraw from a class are advised to submit an official Application for Withdrawal through Schedule Builder prior to the end of the tenth week of classes. The exact date can be found on the Academic Calendar.
