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 21 class days of the quarter are given a ‘W’ (withdraw) grade for that course. Between class day 22 and class day 35, 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 are not allowed to withdraw from a course after class day 35 of the quarter.
A grade of ‘WU’ is given to a student for violation of Neumont’s Academic Event Policy. Refer to the Student Handbook for the specific details regarding the Neumont Academic Event policy.
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 Pace.
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 quarter, and are available to each student.
