What to do if you wanted to drop a class but missed the deadline


The deadline to drop a class was February 20.  Just realizing now that you meant to drop something or that it might be a good idea to drop something?

Don't panic!

Class feeling difficult?
Leaving the class may not be necessary -  consider office hours, help rooms, or requesting a tutor through our free Peer-to-Peer Learning program.  Writing Fellows, Speaking Fellows, and Personal Librarians are also here to help!

If worrying about the grade is crowding out your ability to focus on learning and you don't need the class for a major or minor, you may also consider taking it Pass/D/Fail.
P/D/F deadline: March 21, 11:30pm (on SSOL, does not require permission; if unavailable on SSOL there is a Slate Form)

Really need to get out of a class?
It is not too late to withdraw from a class with a W, as long as you will still be in 12 credits total, and still be on track to graduate on your planned schedule.  Remember that a W is a non-punitive grade that simply indicates that you followed proper procedure to leave a class in progress.
Withdraw-with-a-W deadline: March 21, 4:30pm (Slate form and adviser approval needed)
