Can my professor withdraw me from his/her course?

Summer 2021 and prior: If a late withdrawal is approved by Academic Services, a grade of “WP” (Withdraw Passing) or “WF” (Withdraw Failing) will be assigned by the instructor according to your academic performance. A “WP” has no effect on your GPA and a “WF” is calculated as a failing grade in the GPA.

Fall 2021 and forward: If a late withdrawal is approved by Academic Services, a grade of “WL” (Withdraw Late) will be assigned.

A Late Drop and a Late Withdrawal are the same as a Drop or Withdrawal except that they are petitioned after their respective deadlines. Please check the Academic Calendar for dates. If approved, a Late Drop results in a full refund of tuition fees and the complete removal of the course from the student’s academic record. If a late withdrawal is approved, the student will receive a WL grade. This will not affect their GPA. If approved, a late withdrawal does not refund tuition, and/or the student is still fee liable for the late withdrawn courses.
