Add/Drop and Withdrawal
Add/Drop
Courses may only be dropped or added during the official drop/add period at the beginning of each semester. The add/drop dates can be found here on the Academic Calendar.
The drop/add period is the window available for students to edit their schedules through their UNA Portal at the beginning of the semester. Courses dropped during this period do not appear on the academic record/transcript, are removed from a student's class schedule and are subject to a refund.
Withdrawal
After the initial drop/add period closes, students cannot add courses online and must officially withdraw from a class by the withdrawal deadline. The withdrawal dates can be found here on the Academic Calendar.
Withdrawn courses appear on a transcript with a grade of W, remain on the class schedule and are NOT subject to a refund. Courses with a grade of W do not factor into the GPA.
