During this withdraw period, no instructor signature is required and the withdrawal may usually be accomplished via LEO Online.
Withdrawal from a course after the 10th week of a regular session (or its equivalent in a nonsemester course) is usually not permitted. However, in the event of an illness or other severe hardship beyond the student's control, the student should submit, no later than the last day of classes, a written petition for permission to withdraw (Request for Exception -- Permission to Withdraw After Midterm) to the instructor and the chair of the department offering the course.
The Request for Exception must be submitted by the last day of classes for a term.
A student who stops attending classes without officially withdrawing will receive a grade of "WF" except if the student's performance was an F at the time the student stopped attending class, in which case a grade of "F" will be assigned.
The grade of "WF" will carry no points, but will be computed in the student's grade point average.
Non-attendance does not relieve students of the financial responsibility for tuition charges after they are registered for a class. The University does not drop students for non-attendance or non-payment of tuition.
