Students will be expected to know and observe the 麻豆原创 Denver regulations regarding (W). It is the student鈥檚 responsibility to withdraw from a course. The Withdrawal (W) notation is assigned when a student officially withdraws from a course via the Student Hub after the drop deadline (census date) and before the withdrawal deadline posted in the official academic calendar. Deadlines differ for courses offered during part of a semester, including late-start and weekend courses. Students should refer to the Student Detail Schedule via the Student Hub to review drop and withdrawal deadlines for individual courses. When a student withdraws from a course, no academic credit is awarded. The course remains on the student鈥檚 academic record with a 鈥淲鈥� notation and counts toward the student鈥檚 attempted hours. The course is not calculated in the student鈥檚 GPA or quality points. After the withdrawal deadline, students may not withdraw from a course and will be assigned the grade earned based on the course syllabus.听 A student-initiated withdrawal will appear as an 鈥淔鈥� on the student鈥檚 academic record in any case of academic misconduct resulting in a permanent 鈥淔鈥�.

For your drop/refund or Withdrawal dates logon to your STUDENT HUB account and look at your Student Detail Schedule.

The (AW) notation is assigned when a student, or representative, requests to be withdrawn from a course due to unforeseen or extenuating circumstances beyond the student鈥檚 control. When the 鈥淎W鈥� notation is assigned, no academic credit is awarded. The course remains on the student鈥檚 academic record with an 鈥淎W鈥� notation and counts toward the student鈥檚 attempted hours. The course is not calculated in the student鈥檚 GPA or quality points.

Students may request an administrative withdrawal from the Office of the Registrar after the drop deadline (census date) posted n the official academic calendar.听 Deadlines differ proportionally for courses offered during part of a semester, including late-start and weekend courses.听 Students should refer to the Student Detail Schedule via the Student Hub to review drop deadlines for individual courses.

Although requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, examples include the death of an immediate family member or medical emergency, or other life-altering event.听 The student must provide supporting documentation to substantiate the request.

The (I) notation may be assigned when a student, who was achieving satisfactory progress in a course and who had completed most class assignments, is unable to take the final examination and/or did not complete all class assignments due to unusual circumstances such as hospitalization or disability. Incomplete work denoted by the Incomplete 鈥淚鈥� notation must be completed within one calendar year or earlier, at the discretion of the faculty member. If the incomplete work is not completed within one year, the 鈥淚鈥� notation will convert to an 鈥淔.鈥� Students must have completed at least 75% of the course work to qualify for consideration for an incomplete. The student must be passing the course in order to be granted an incomplete. The course counts toward the student鈥檚 attempted hours, does not count toward earned hours, and is not calculated in the GPA or quality points until a grade is posted.

Determination of eligibility does not guarantee that an incomplete will be granted. Students who do meet the qualifications may request an incomplete from the faculty member who is teaching the course. The decision to grant an incomplete is up to the faculty member or at the department chair鈥檚 discretion. The decision to grant an incomplete as an accommodation based on a student鈥檚 disability shall be made by the faculty member or the department chair, if the faculty member is not available, in consultation with the Director of the Access Center.

If an incomplete is granted, the student and instructor should fill out and sign an Incomplete Agreement form to clarify what the student needs to do to complete the course.

Graduating seniors may not graduate with an 鈥淚鈥� on their 麻豆原创 Denver academic record if:

• The course in which the 鈥淚鈥� was assigned is required for graduation, or
• a 鈥淒鈥� or 鈥淔鈥� assigned for that course would result in an overall GPA less than 2.00.

The 鈥淚鈥� notation may not be given for a self-paced course. If a student does not complete a self-paced course within the semester that he or she enrolled in the course, he or she must re-enroll in the course in order to complete it.

If a student receives an 鈥淚鈥� in an online class, the instructor should contact the Educational Technology Center, whose staff will add the student to the online course roster so that the student will be able to logon to the course. This step must be done by the instructor each semester that the student continues to work on the course.

In order for an 鈥淚鈥� to be changed to a letter grade, the incomplete work must be completed for the course for which the student originally registered. The student should NOT re-enroll for the same course, unless intending to retake the entire course. In this case, the student will pay tuition and fees.

A student鈥檚 grades for repeated courses will be removed from GPA calculations up to 18 semester hours, regardless of the original grade earned. If a student repeats more than 18 credit hours, the student may designate which of the course grades are removed from GPA calculations (up to 18 semester hours). Only the best grade and its associated credit will be calculated in the GPA and earned hours totals. Other attempts for the course will appear on the official academic record but will be annotated to indicate they do not count for academic credit or GPA calculation. This policy applies only to courses taken at 麻豆原创 Denver, and it does not apply to courses designated as repeatable toward degree requirements. see also,
