Withdrawal and Drops from Off-Campus and Cancelled Courses
In general, if a student voluntarily withdraws from an off-campus course, then the normal withdrawal policy applies. If the off-campus course’s schedule does not match a Georgia State University term, then the mid-point of the course will be the mid-point of the period from the first off-campus meeting of the course to the last meeting of the course.
If a course is cancelled by Georgia State after the first week of classes, then the student may choose between three options:
- They may have the course dropped from their schedule (even if the course is cancelled after the end of Late Registration), or
- They may take a W in the course, or
- In coordination with the course instructor and the department chair, the student may develop an academically appropriate plan to complete the course. These plans must be approved by the instructor and the department chair.
