Is it possible to withdraw from courses taken in previous semesters?
Page 402 of the College Course Catalog states under the category “Waivers of Academic Regulations:” Students may appeal to the Committee on Academic Standards for waivers of existing academic regulations and requirements in individual cases.” This committee of faculty governance (which includes students) is appropriately the defender of the Academic Rules and Regulations of Emory College. The Committee views total withdrawal (from all courses in a given semester) for medical or psychological reasons a valid reason for some flexibility in the rules. For more information, see Committee on Academic Standards.
