LAST DAY TO DROP A COURSE OR RESIGN WITH A "W" GRADE
FALL QUARTER 2008
The last day to drop a course or resign from the University with "W" grades is Friday, October 24, 2008. You'll need a DROP/ADD form, signed by your advisor, and then processed through the Registrar's Office. Instructions and the forms are available online at URL http://www.latech.edu/registrar/dropping-course.shtml or you can pick one up in the Office of the University Registrar (Keeny Hall 207) where you will process the completed form.
Students receiving any Financial Aid should carefully consider the impact that dropping courses has on their satisfactory academic progress. If you have questions about this, contact the Office of Student Financial Aid (Keeny Hall 240)
