W/WU/WS/IW Course Withdrawal
Students who officially withdraw from a course after the Add/Drop Period but before the completion of the first 8 class days of the sprint are given a ‘W’ (withdraw) grade for that course. Between class day 9 and class day 12 of the course, students will earn a ‘WS’ (withdraw satisfactory) or ‘WU’ (withdraw unsatisfactory), depending on the status of course work accomplished as of the withdrawal date. Students who are enrolled in the University are not allowed to withdraw from a class after class day 12 of the sprint. Quarter-length courses are subject to the Sprint 1 withdrawal calendar.
A grade of ‘WU’ is given to a student for violation of Neumont’s Academic Policy. Refer to the Student Handbook for the specific details regarding the Neumont University Academic Event.
An official course withdrawal is initiated with the Office of the Registrar. A ‘W’ or a ‘WS’ grade does not apply to a student’s grade point average but does apply to a student’s rate of progress.
A ‘WU’ grade is applicable to both a student’s grade point average and course completion ratio and is the equivalent to a grade of 'F.'
An ‘IW’ (involuntary withdrawal) does not apply to a student’s grade point average nor does it apply to a student’s pace.
Final grades are reported at the completion of each sprint and are available for each student.
