WF Withdrawal

After the deadline for W grades in a given semester, if a student is found to have zero Academic Activity in a class, they will be withdrawn from the class and assigned a WF grade.

The WF grade carries the same Cumulative GPA and PACE effects as an F grade.

If a student receives WF grades (after the set date) in all classes of a required semester, the student will be fully withdrawn from the institution.
