Students are not allowed to withdraw from classes during the last three weeks of semester courses (after November 15 in the Fall, and April 15 in the Spring) or the last week of quarter or module courses. Due to fluctuating dates, withdrawal deadlines for Summer and Winter sessions will be established prior to the term.
