Process for Dropping or Withdrawing from class (within the dates outlined by the WNMU Registrar):
- Dual Credit students who request to drop or withdraw from a class must contact their high school Dual Credit Representative as soon as possible since both processes have deadlines each semester. If Dual Credit Student is within the deadline then they complete this form and submit it to their high school’s Dual Credit Representative, who will then submit it the WNMU Office of Graduate Admissions and Outreach Programs at (575) 538-6655 or by email dualenrollment@wnmu.edu .
- If the student’s high school Dual Credit Representative is not available, please contact the WNMU Office of Graduate Admissions and Outreach Programs at (575) 538-6655 or by email dualenrollment@wnmu.edu . Dual Enrollment students are subject to the same drop/withdrawal deadlines as all other WNMU students.
- Dual Credit Student will need to speak to your high school counselor regarding how dropping or withdrawing will affect your graduation requirements.
WNMU Semester Start, End & Enrollment Dates:
WNMU Academic Calendar Dates:
Difference between dropping a class and withdrawing from a class:
- Drop: With a drop, the student will not have a record of attempting the class on their academic transcript (this must be done by the drop due date on the WNMU Academic Calendar). Course specific fees will be refunded if paid or no longer due. If the student registered after the drop deadline, then they will have to withdraw.
- Withdrawal: With a withdrawal, the course will appear on the student’s transcript with a grade of “W.” A withdrawal will not affect your WNMU GPA but will affect satisfactory academic progress and possibly future financial aid awards. The student is still responsible for payment in full of course-specific fees.
Fail/Repeat Policy: Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy:
- Dual Credit students are subject to the same Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy (Appendix C) that applies to all other undergraduates. In order to protect the future financial aid eligibility of these students, a course with a grade of D or better can only be re-taken once. After that, regardless of the fact that the Dual Enrollment student took the class without receiving financial aid, s/he will no longer be eligible to receive funding for that particular course at any institution that participates in the Federal Financial Aid Program.
Drops/Withdrawals Policy:
- Under the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy (Appendix C), students must complete 67% of all classes attempted. This means that even students with a 4.0 GPA can, if they have dropped approximately 1/3 of the Dual Enrollment courses into which they have enrolled, be SAP suspended upon entering college.
Textbooks:
- Textbooks purchased through the high school voucher must be returned to the high school, or student will be responsible for cost of textbook.
