Dropping and Withdrawing from Classes
When is the deadline to drop or withdraw from a class?
There are two important deadlines: drop without a “W,” and drop with a “W.” The drop without a “W” deadline is approximately two weeks after the semester has begun for a full semester course, and one week after the start of a first or second session course. The drop with a “W” deadline occurs in the ninth week of the semester, and approximately a month after the start for a first or second session course.
For specific semester dates, please see the Academic Calendar (http://goo.gl/xhGFg).
How do I drop a class?
You can drop a class in your mySUU Portal. First, choose the “Registration” link, then “Add, Drop, or Search for Classes.” Once in your list of classes, choose the “Web Withdrawn” option in the drop-down box under the “Action” column. Click the submit button, and double-check that you have successfully dropped your course. If it’s before the withdraw without a “W” deadline, it will have disappeared from your list. If it’s after the withdraw without a “W” deadline, it will still appear in your list of classes, but it will indicate it has been withdrawn.
You can also drop a class with an add/drop form (http://suu.edu/ss/registrar/pdf/RegistrationAddDrop.pdf). You do not need your instructor’s signature to drop a course when using the form.
If I stop attending class will I automatically be dropped?
No. If you stop attending class but do not drop the course yourself, you will end up with a “UW” (Unofficial Withdrawal) grade for the course. A “UW” calculates in your GPA the same as an “F.”
How do I drop all my classes for the semester?
If you wish to withdraw from all your classes in the semester, you must complete the online withdrawal process in your SUU Portal. Choose the “Registration” link under the Banner section on the lower left side of the screen. Then choose the “Online University Withdrawal” link on the next page. Follow the prompts form there.
If you need to withdraw for medical or other unexpected reasons, you may use the Emergency Withdrawal form (http://suu.edu/ss/registrar/withdrawal.html). You may be eligible for a portion of your tuition and fees.
If I drop a class, will it affect my financial aid?
It may. Please speak to your Financial Aid counselor (http://suu.edu/ss/financial/contact.html) before dropping any courses if you are worried about how it could affect your aid situation. Depending on the point in the semester, it could affect your aid drastically or not at all.
