Dropping Students Although absence from class does not constitute dropping a class or withdrawing from the University, faculty have the authority to request the removal of students who fail to meet attendance requirements. If a faculty member chooses to drop a student from his or her class, the Office of the Registrar must receive a written request by the end of the 10th week of Fall and Spring terms and by the end of the 6th week of the Summer term. The request may be in the form of an email or faxed copy of a recent class roster to the Service Center Manager. Faculty requests to drop students for poor attendance result in the assignment of a WR grade on the student’s official transcript. |
