Course Withdrawal Policy

The policy regarding withdrawal from courses becomes effective after the add/drop period terminates. If a student withdraws from a course or from the college prior to the end of the twelfth week of the semester* or prior to the end of the sixth week for accelerated courses, they will receive a grade of "W" on their transcript. No credit will be given, nor will this be counted in computing the cumulative grade point average. A student who withdraws or discontinues studies in any course after that date will receive a grade of "F." During the withdrawal period, students (CLAS only) are required to have their advisor's signature on each add/drop form.

* Refer to the Academic Calendar for exact dates (lesley.edu/students/academic-resources/academic-calendars).
