Course Drops during the First Two Weeks¹ (Semester-long courses at UW-Green Bay)

Enrolled students are able to drop individual regular 14-week semester-long courses during the first two weeks of the fall/spring semester with no academic grade assigned or financial penalty². Students in courses that are less than 14 weeks in duration can drop the course with no grade assigned, during the 1st week.

Late Drop (Semester-long courses at UW-Green Bay)

• Week 3 to week 6: Students can drop classes on their own and a DR (drop grade) will appear on the transcript.
• Week 7 to the end of the term: Drops are not allowed. Students must submit a Late Drop Petition which must be approved by the Enrollment Review Committee.  Petitions are only approved for extenuating circumstances with supporting documentation. If a late drop is granted, students remain responsible for the tuition and fees assessed for the course as they received instruction and held a seat in the course. A DR (drop grade) will appear on the transcript.

Late Drop (Courses less than 14 weeks in duration)

•           From the start of week two until half the course duration (50%), a student may drop the course, and a DR (drop grade) will appear on the transcript.

•           Following one day after half the course duration, a student must submit a Late Drop Petition which must be approved by the Enrollment Review Committee. Petitions are only approved for extenuating circumstances with supporting documentation. If a late drop is granted, students remain responsible for the tuition and fees assessed for the course as they received instruction and held a seat in the course.

Financial adjustments for course drops vary based on the effect on course load and timing of the drop. Consult the Bursar fee information for these dates.
