Course Withdrawal Deadline Extended

Reminder about Withdraw from a Spring 2020 Course or Petitioning for an Incomplete.

Posted in: Academic, Announcements, Featured News

Deadline to withdrawal from a class is Monday, May 4, 11:59 p.m.

As you know, the deadline to withdraw from classes was extended to Monday, May 4, 2020, 11:59 p.m., so that you have an option that will not hurt your GPA if you are unable to successfully finish a course. This should be used as a last resort and should generally not be used unless you are failing. For more details, see the revised spring 2020 policy.

To Withdraw from a Class

To elect to withdraw from a class, click Register for Classes in NEST, and choose which of your spring classes you would like to withdraw from. Select Withdraw and it will be automatically processed. See illustration below:

To Petition for an Incomplete

In addition, students who need extensions to complete coursework for any reason may petition their instructors for an Incomplete (IN) for those courses by Thursday, May 14, 2020. IN grades allow students to complete coursework beyond the semester deadline. In the case of spring 2020, the coursework will need to be completed by Thursday, October 15, 2020, and if not completed, the IN grade will change to the grade of F. For more details, see the revised IN policy which applies to the spring 2020 semester only.
