Students who resign after the 12th class day of a fall/spring term receive a mark of W (withdrawn) for each course for which they were enrolled.

The mark of Q is assigned to courses dropped from the 13th class day for a fall or spring term or from the 5th class day for a summer session, through the Q-drop deadline as indicated on the Academic Calendar, but prior to any final exams being taken or course completion.
