What is a WU (Withdrawal Unauthorized) grade?
The grade WU indicates an enrolled student did not withdraw from the course and failed to complete course requirements. An instructor should assign a WU grade when completed assignments or course activities were insufficient to make normal evaluation of academic performance. Instructors should note the Last Known Date of Attendance when assigning a WU grade. If unknown, leave the default date noted below the student’s name on the grading exceptions page. For purposes of grade point average and progress point computation, this symbol is equivalent to an F. WU grades do not require approval by chair or school dean and will be posted on a student’s record as soon as you submit grades.
