A student dropping a course on or after the third instructional day of the quarter, but by the midpoint date of the quarter, will receive a grade of "W." Note: An instructional day is based on the academic calendar, not a student's individual schedule. A student who drops a course after the midpoint date will be assigned a "WP" or "WF." A student who withdraws from a course prior to the first day of the quarter or during the three day drop period will be due a refund of tuition (see Refund Policy). Students on financial aid should be aware that a drop or withdrawal after the three day drop period may affect their financial aid.
