*Students may drop a course only if they have not had any academic engagement. If there has been academic engagement and the student desires to no longer attend the class, the student withdraws from the class.

**Although the course officially ends on Sunday, in many cases the coursework is due the Friday before to allow a weekend break between subterms/terms.

*** Commencement is the ceremony that celebrates the completion of a degree or certificate. Participation in the commencement ceremony does not imply that students have officially graduated. Graduation is the completion of all degree requirements as recorded on the official transcript. The conferral of the degree or graduation happens after the commencement ceremony.
