Course Withdrawal
To withdraw from a course, students must complete a Course Withdrawal form that is available through forms.stevenson.edu. Students may not withdraw from courses online through Student Planning. Notice to the instructor or advisor of intent to withdraw is not sufficient. Students who stop attending and fail to officially withdraw from a class will be given a grade of "FX" which calculates as an "F."
Students may withdraw from a course only during the published withdrawal dates. Students withdrawing from class during this period will have a "W" recorded on their transcript; a grade of "W" does not affect the GPA. The last date for withdrawal from a course without penalty is listed in the enrollment calendar for each term and is found on the Registrar's Office website page. Withdrawing from a course after the published withdrawal date results in a grade of "WF." Students may not withdraw from classes during exam week.
There may be extraordinary cases in which serious illness, injury or another significant personal situation prevents a student from continuing their classes after the published withdrawal date. If this is the case, students should refer to the Medical/Compassionate Withdrawal Policy that is located in the Withdrawal from the University section of the catalog.
