When students stop attending or academically participating in a course, they must report this information to the Enrollment Services Office (RM 1160) to officially withdraw themselves from the course. Students may visit the Enrollment Services Office, complete an add/drop/withdrawal form online or email enrollment@prairiestate.edu to officially withdraw from a course.

Officially withdrawing from a course occurs after the tuition refund period associated with the course has ended. A grade of “W” will appear on the student’s record. The “W” grade will not affect the student’s grade point average. The course will be considered attempted but not completed. Students can withdraw from a course by the published deadline date (see the academic calendar). If an extenuating circumstance occurs after the published deadline date, a student may submit a late withdrawal appeal for consideration.

Note: Students in selective health programs such as nursing, dental hygiene, surgical technology must also speak with their program coordinator before withdrawing from a course. Student athletes, international and early college students must meet with the respective advisor before withdrawing from a course.
