What are the differences between dropping a course, withdrawing from a course, and withdrawing from the College?
Course Drop/Course Withdrawal (W) - A Course Drop happens during the Drop/Add period at the beginning of a semester. A Course Withdrawal happens during the "W" period, which is after Drop/Add and before the withdrawal deadline. See the Academic Calendar for specific dates for each term.
College Withdrawal (WD) – This is for withdrawal from ALL courses during the semester: student-initiated withdrawal, medical withdrawal, administrative withdrawal.
Leave of Absence (LOA) – This is for a 1-2 semester absence with intent to return.
Temporary Leave of Absence (TLOA) - This is for a brief absence during a semester.
