NOTE: Instructors who choose to drop students with a “WF” for non-attendance MUST have a written
attendance policy stated on their course syllabus. Instructors should make certain that students understand that
a “WF” will be factored into their GPA as an “F.” In order for students to receive a “W,” they must initiate the
drop on their own within the appropriate drop period.
