Course Withdrawal Deadline Extended

April 23, 2020

Dear Students,

We hope you are healthy and are staying on track with your online courses during this continued public health crisis. We understand that this semester has been unlike any other and that you may find that despite your best efforts, you need to withdraw (WD) from one or more of your classes. The following are options the University is allowing in the spring 2020 semester in addition to the PASS/FAIL option for undergraduates previously released.

We have extended the deadline to withdraw from classes to Monday, May 4, 2020, so that you have an option that will not hurt your GPA if you are unable to successfully finish a course. This should be used as a last resort and should generally not be used unless you are failing. For more details, see the revised spring 2020 policy.

In addition, students who need extensions to complete coursework for any reason may petition their instructors for an Incomplete (IN) for those courses by Thursday, May 14, 2020. IN grades allow students to complete coursework beyond the semester deadline. In the case of spring 2020, the coursework will need to be completed by Thursday, October 15, 2020, and if not completed, the IN grade will change to the grade of F. For more details, see the revised IN policy which applies to the spring 2020 semester only.
