To Withdraw means to officially leave a course after the ADD/DROP period. You can withdraw from courses after Midterm exams.
You will receive an email that directs you to the Withdrawal form; you must complete that form in order to officially leave a course.
A W will be reported on your final Transcript of Records and no credits will be assigned; the W means that you left the class during the semester. (There is no negative impact).
If you don’t plan to complete a course/take the final exam for a course but you do not officially withdraw from it, your Transcript of Records will show a FAIL.
