Withdrawals (WP, WF, WU, WML)

Students desiring to withdraw formally from a class may do so within the add-drop period without penalty. A reduction in course load may keep the student from meeting minimum standards for satisfactory progress. Course withdrawals may also jeopardize the student’s financial aid eligibility, VA benefits, and program completion date.

The ADD/DROP period is the first week of the semester (TERM A) ending Thursday of that week.

During this time, you can add, change, or cancel classes, by following the procedure established. Classes withdrawn within this period will receive be unregistered from the student load.

Requests to change, add or cancel classes must be made in writing by means of the Cancel/Add form or the Class Change form found on the FNU website or at the Registrar’s Office. Any changes to your schedule must be approved by your Department/Division Head and a Cancel/Add form or Class Change form must be completed, signed, and turned into the Registrar’s Office. Distance Learning students must submit the completed form(s) to the Registrar’s Office via either e-mail to registrars@fnu.edu or fax at (305) 362-0595, Attention to: Registrar’s Office. Additional questions about the Distance Learning Department can be emailed to distancelearning@fnu.edu.

No schedule changes will be accepted for the semester during Term B unless it is an emergency, and you will be charged for the change. For changes approved after the ADD/DROP period, the student will be charged $50.00 per change. If a student wants to change a class during Term B, it can only be done by substituting the class with another course carrying the same credit load and by paying the $50.00 fee. Please note that all changes carry a $50.00 fee even if it just a change of session.

Students starting in the University in Term B of the semester will be able to ADD/CHANGE classes during the first week of this term (until Thursday of that week).
