After consultation with the instructor, students may drop a course and receive a grade of "Q" during the first six weeks--two weeks in the summer session--of the semester.

For drops after this penalty-free period, the instructor records a grade of "Q" or "F" on the drop form, indicating that the student was passing or failing at the time of the drop. A grade of "Q" may not be assigned on the grade sheet unless an official drop has been processed through the Admissions and Records Office.

For refund purposes, the effective drop date is the date the "Drop Form" is received in the Admissions and Records Office with all appropriate signatures.

A student may not drop a course after the published deadline. It is the student's responsibility to obtain all required signatures on the drop form before the end of the drop period.
