Please remind undergraduate students that the last day to drop a semester-length course is Monday, November 1.

  • CLAS will not make exceptions to this final drop deadline except in situations where the student has been seriously ill, has had a family emergency, or has been involved in a similar extenuating circumstance. In these cases, documentation is required for the College to approve a drop after the November 1 deadline.
  • Please refer students with questions to 120 Schaeffer Hall or clasps@uiowa.edu.

The mark of W will appear on the student’s transcript. Ws are neutral marks that do not affect a student’s GPA. They are a means for the University to track enrollment in courses in order to manage resources.

Thank you for keeping your undergraduate students informed about academic deadlines.
