Transcripts

Before the drop deadline, registered courses are removed from the transcript.
After the drop deadline, a “W” grade is assigned to each course.
Withdrawal grades do not affect overall GPA.
For some withdrawals, a hold is placed on future registration. If already registered for future semesters, the courses will be removed
