If you wish to discontinue a course after the drop deadline, you must submit the Course Withdrawal Request Form. If you miss the drop deadline you have eight weeks from the start of the semester to leave a class using this option. This will result in a W on your transcript. You must talk to the GSAS Assistant Dean for Graduate Programs if withdrawing late from a course will leave you with fewer than 12 credits. This may also jeopardize financial aid or full-time status for purposes of international student visa, NCAA eligibility, health insurance, veterans’ benefits, and automobile insurance for “Good Student” discounts. If you stop attending a course without formally dropping or withdrawing from it, you will receive a failing grade. If, after the course withdrawal deadline has passed, you are enrolled in a class you never attended, you will need to petition the GSAS Assistant Dean to withdraw from the class. Failure to do so will result in the assignment of a grade of F.
