What is a “W” grade?
A “W” stands for “withdrawal.” Grade symbols of “F” (failing), “NC” (no credit), and “W” (withdrawal) will not be considered as completed nor contributing to satisfactory academic progress. When does school start? Always refer to the current class schedule and the academic calendar for the start of the semester and all registration dates and academic deadlines. If school starts on Monday and I have a Tuesday class, do I have to go on Monday? Once the semester begins, you attend the classes on the days those classes are scheduled to meet. Do I need to make an appointment to see a counselor? You may make appointments to see a counselor by calling 730-3715. Drop-in appointments may be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Is there counseling available at the off-campus site? Yes, counseling is available at the Hanford Center by calling 585-3933 to find out days and times to meet with a counselor.

A “W” means withdrawal. You may withdraw (drop) from full-semester classes before the end of the fourth week without a “W” notation on your academic record; however, you must submit your withdrawal request to the admissions office by the date listed in the college calendar found in the class schedule. If you withdraw from a class after the no penalty drop date the grade of “W” will appear on your academic record, as long as you have submitted your request to the admissions office. Dropping a class without submitting a request may result in an “F” grade.
