As discussed in Schedule of Courses Booklet: “After [the final deadline to drop] a student may request a WP or WF of their instructors. Instructors may give students who are earning a “C-“ or better a WP and students who are “D+” or below a WF. The WP and the WF grades are intended to be exceptions or interventions for students who are experiencing hardships that legitimately prevent them from withdrawing before the deadline.”
Instructors in the biology department will only
consider such requests if a student can document a hardship that prevented withdrawing before the
deadline. We will never, under
any circumstances, grant a WP/WF
because a student ends the semester with a poor course grade.
