Students not attending a class in which they are enrolled must drop or withdraw from the class; failure to do so will result in a failing grade on the student’s record (F or WU). Withdrawing occurs when you remove yourself from classes AFTER self-service registration ends for the term or session. Before withdrawing, you should consider the consequences of such an action and consult with your academic advisor since it will generally impact your progress towards your degree, future course enrollment and financial aid eligibility.

To begin, in the Academics section, click on Enrollment Adjustments.

Instructors may provide mid-term progress reports to students at the midpoint of the term. These grades do not appear on students' transcripts or affect their GPAs. It can be beneficial for students to review their progress and develop plans to maintain or improve their performance in class.

Since mid-term progress reports are voluntary, you may not receive mid-term progress reports for your classes. If a mid-term progress report is not submitted for your class, your mid-term report may be NA (Not Available). Instructors can submit mid-term progress reports in the fall and spring semesters.

Step 1: Choose Grades from the expandable menu button within the Academics section in Student Center (button is located in the upper right of the panel, illustrated with three stacked lines).
