After the Add/Drop period ends, students have the option to withdraw from courses, until the Withdraw Deadline (listed in the Academic Calendar).
Withdrawing vs. Dropping
-
Withdrawals appear on transcripts as a "W" and count towards full-time status for the purposes of financial aid or residency.
-
Dropped courses, however, do not appear on transcripts, and do not count toward full-time status.
-
Neither withdrawn nor dropped courses count toward GPA.
How to Withdraw
Students can withdraw from a course by completing a withdrawal form (available in the Registrar's Office), obtaining the signature of their academic advisor, and returning the completed and signed form to the Registrar's Office in the Cavalier Express Center.
Alternately, they can complete an online withdrawal request.
This is only a request and must be approved by an advisor and processed.
It is recommended that students continue to attend class until the withdrawal request is approved.
Confirmation that the request has been approved, as well as advisor approval, will be sent students via their Cabrini email account.
Students who need to leave the College for extended periods of time may be eligible for withdrawal from all courses. Please contact your academic advisor or the Office of Academic Affairs for more information.
