Dropping a Single Course

Prior to the beginning of Winter Term classes, students registered for more than one course may drop a single course at MyUM.

Students registered for more than one course and who want to drop a course without a “W” grade notation may do so during the schedule adjustment period.

Students registered for more than one course and who drop a course after the schedule adjustment period, receive a “W” grade notation on their transcript.

Students registered for one or more Winter Term courses and who terminate registration from all courses on or after the first day of classes must withdraw.
