Course add/drop and Withdrawal (W) deadline dates are listed on the Important Dates website. For general information concerning course changes and withdrawals, please see University Regulations & Resources > Undergraduate > Registration > Course Change Period and Course Withdrawal.

Notes:

1. The Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy programs are highly structured and students must receive the approval of the Program Director to determine what course changes, if any, are allowed. Students can consult the Student Affairs Office for information on policies and procedures.
   Note: Courses with a Subject Code OCC1, PHTH, or POTH are reserved for students enrolled in programs within the School of Physical & Occupational Therapy.
   Note: If students choose to voluntarily withdraw from the OT or PT program, they will not be permitted to remain registered in professional courses (OCC1, PHTH, or POTH).
2. The responsibility for initiating a withdrawal rests solely with the student. Neither notification of the course instructor nor discontinuance of class attendance will suffice. The date on which a student's withdrawal is entered on Minerva is the official date of withdrawal, even if the student stopped attending lectures earlier.
3. Fee refunds, if any, will be in accordance with University Regulations & Resources > Undergraduate > Fees > Fees and Withdrawal from the University.
4. You may still withdraw from a complementary or elective course after the Course Change deadline without academic penalty provided that you do so within the appropriate withdrawal deadlines for the term. Otherwise, after this time, your name will continue to appear on the class list and grade reports and, in the event that you do not take the exam, you will be given a J grade. A 鈥淛鈥� grade (unexcused absence/failure) is equivalent to a zero in your GPA, and is a permanent part of your record.
5. After the Withdrawal (without refund) deadline but before the end of term, and only under exceptional circumstances, you may be granted permission to withdraw from a course. Permission will not be granted merely because you are doing unsatisfactory work. A grade of W or WF, as appropriate, will appear on your transcript but will not be calculated in your GPA. For further information, consult the Student Affairs Office.
6. If you are prevented from dropping an OCC1, PHTH, or POTH course in Minerva, and have received permission to do so, you must contact the Student Affairs Office to obtain the necessary forms by the appropriate deadlines.

Withdrawal (W) deadline dates are specified on the Important Dates website. For general information concerning university withdrawal, please see University Regulations & Resources > Undergraduate > Registration > University Withdrawal.

Students considering withdrawal are strongly urged to consult with the Program Director and Student Affairs Office before making a final decision. The Student Affairs Office will supply any forms necessary to complete the University withdrawal.

Students who decide to withdraw from the University are required to follow the procedures indicated at University Withdrawal.

Notes:

1. All students who have accessed Minerva to register must officially withdraw from/drop courses within appropriate deadlines if they decide not to attend the term(s) for which they have registered. If you are prevented from withdrawing from an OCC1, PHTH, or POTH course on Minerva, contact the Student Affairs Office to obtain the necessary forms.
2. Fee refunds, if any, for the term in which the student withdraws will be in accordance with University Regulations & Resources > Undergraduate > Fees > Fees and Withdrawal from the University.
3. Upon withdrawal students are required to return their ID card to the University as stated in University Regulations & Resources > Undergraduate > Personal Information > Identification (ID) Cards.

In the event that a student is required to withdraw or abandons their studies in occupational therapy or physical therapy, the School of Physical and Occupational Therapy will proceed with the withdrawal procedure.

Students who are withdrawn or who withdraw voluntarily from their program of study must also withdraw from courses with a prefix OCC1, PHTH, or POTH, which are reserved for students enrolled in programs within the School of Physical & Occupational Therapy.

Students who are required to withdraw from either the occupational therapy or physical therapy programs or abandons their studies in occupational therapy or physical therapy,will not be readmitted to either program. The School has the right to dismiss, at any time, any student who is considered incompetent and/or unsuitable for the practice of occupational therapy or physical therapy.
