Withdrawing from Individual Courses After the Drop Period

Students may not withdraw from the Pioneer Path courses PIO 101; WRIT 101 Basics of Composition, WRIT 102 College Composition; or COMM 203 Fundamentals of Communication. Any exception to this policy can be made only by the Assistant Provost for the Undergraduate Curriculum for PIO 101, the Chair of the Department of English for WRIT 101/102, and the Chair of the Department of Communication for COMM 203.

A student has the option to withdraw from any courses, excluding those noted above, with a grade of W. Students who wish to withdraw from a course after the second full week of classes must discuss with their academic advisor the implications of the planned withdraw. If the student still wishes to withdraw from the course, an email should be sent to the course instructor, the academic advisor, and the Records Office (records@marietta.edu). The student email and the advisor response confirming that they have been consulted must be received by 5:00PM EST for a grade of W to be assigned. If this is done after the published deadline, a grade of WF will be assigned. The course and grade will appear on the student’s transcript. Refer to the section on Grading System for more details.
