Failing vs. Withdrawing considerations

The pros and cons are:

  • Failing can hurt GPA and completion rate.
  • Withdrawal can hurt completion rate, but not GPA.
  • However, Financial Aid implications are different. It is best to schedule a meeting with an advisor before deciding to withdraw from a course to ensure you are making the most informed decision! 
  • If you plan to withdraw, you can do so by accessing Dropping Courses from the Campus Hub web page.
