For schools with drop deadlines, there are usually penalties for dropping a class after the deadline. Depending on your school, these may include a "W" (withdrawal) notation on transcripts, which can affect your academic records.
WU (Withdrawn Unofficially) is assigned by the instructor to indicate that the student stopped attending the course before the end of the semester, or as a result of excessive absences there is no basis to give a final letter grade of A+ to F, and the conditions for a grade of INC do not apply.
Withdrawal. A permanent grade requested by the student after the Add/Drop period, and before the deadline in the academic calendar. This grade is assigned by the Assistant Dean of Registrar and Student Services at the written request of the student. It does not affect the grade point average.
The grade of "W" is assigned only when the student has officially withdrawn from the course. Note: A student who withdraws from 12 credits or more within two academic years may be placed on academic warning; a student who drops 18 or more credits will be subject to dismissal.
You won't receive a grade for the class, but a “W” will show up on your transcript, indicating that you were not doing well in the course and essentially quit the class. This “W” does not factor into your GPA, but it can be readily seen by anyone reviewing your transcript in the future.
If you attend an accredited college like Bar-Ilan or Michlalah, you can receive up to 36 college credits for one year of study, and one semester would be up to 18 credits upon entering Queens College. Students must apply as a transfer student to receive a maximum of 36 credits.
W is a non-punitive grade initiated by a student when a class is dropped via CUNYfirst during the published withdrawal period. You may withdraw officially with a grade of W between the third week of classes and the last day of classes published in the academic calendar for Fall and Spring terms.
If you must withdraw, you should always withdraw officially by going to your advisor or dropping the class on your student account. You should not withdraw from a class by not going to the class anymore.
