| Before the semester begins and for
the first 1/5 of the semester (3 weeks), WSU Online
courses may be dropped online in the Student
Information and Registration system. After the 3rd
week, students must contact the Registration Office
to drop individual courses until the end of the 8th
week (½) of the semester. If a course is dropped
between the 3rd and 8th weeks of the semester, a "W"
will appear on the transcript. Dropping individual
courses is not allowed after the 8th week of the
semester. However, students may withdraw from all
courses in a semester until the last day of
coursework (before finals) by signing the complete
withdrawal form at the Registration Office. (The
form must be signed to ensure withdrawal.) If you
drop (withdraw from) all your courses for the
semester by signing the Withdrawal Form at the
Registration Office, a notation – "Registered and
withdrew" will appear on your transcript. You will
not receive grades for the courses affected by this
withdrawal.
If you are on Financial Aid – you were awarded
your assistance based on a certain number of credit
hours for the semester. If you add courses above 18
or drop courses below 12 (generally) you must check
with the Financial Aid Office to ensure that your
award is not affected by the change. If you do not
successfully complete the number of credit hours per
semester that your award was based on you may
jeopardize future funding and must arrange with the
Financial Aid Office to "make up" the hours/courses
or risk losing your aid altogether.
