Whats the difference between dropping a course and withdrawing?
When you drop a course it is removed from your transcript. No permission is needed from an instructor, and it can be done through PennInTouch. Withdrawing from a course takes place after requires the instructor’s permission, and a form must be filled out and submitted to the Academic Programs Office. A “W” will be placed on the transcript next to the course. The Drop deadline is at the end of the fifth week, and the deadline to withdraw from a course is at the end of the tenth week.
