Petition to Withdraw from a Course
Types of Withdrawal Grades
"EW" (Excused Withdrawal) occurs when a student is permitted to withdraw from a course(s) due to specific events beyond the control of the student affecting their ability to complete a course(s). This grade shall not be counted as an enrollment attempt.
"W" (Withdrawal) is a mark assigned to students who withdraw after 20 percent and prior to 75 percent of the term. Students will be unable to withdraw from a course through Self-Service after the 75 percent point, and will be required to submit the petition form below.
If a student is requesting a drop beyond the deadline, instructor confirmation of Last Date of Attendance (LDA) is required. Please review the petition form below for additional requirements and guidelines.
"MW" (Military Withdrawal) is issued when unexpected military duty requires a student to withdraw from their course. A military withdrawal can be granted as a result of an appeal supported by a specific military documentation. The "MW" notation shall not be used in calculating grade point average.
Please note that you may be requested to provide additional information during the review process. During peak processing please allow up to 10 business days for the petition to be reviewed after all requested documents have been received.
It is recommended that students submit their requests in a timely manner to ensure there are no delays with their enrollment records. For additional questions, please email the Admissions & Records office at enrolls@collegeofthedesert.edu or call 760-773-2516.
Grade changes must be presented within two years from the time the grade was assigned. Petitions for Excused Withdrawal's will be denied if a course has not been completed within two years.
