All students may drop courses through the end of the second week of class of the current term by using Banner Web for students. No approval is required for upper class students. Freshmen must meet with their academic advisor before dropping a course. Course Withdrawal Policy: Withdrawing from a course results in a W appearing on the students academic record.
