When you drop a course for which you are registered, it is erased from your record; you are not obliged to pay any fees and it will not appear on your transcript. The deadline to drop is the Friday of the first week of the quarter in which the class takes place. Your advisor’s signature is required. After the drop/add deadline, you may withdraw from the course through the end of eighth week. You will need a withdrawal form signed by your advisor and the instructor of the course you wish to drop. The course will appear on your transcript with a grade of W or of WF (withdrawal failing). After eighth week there are no withdrawals with no exceptions. The grade you should have received will appear on your transcript.
