(A) Withdrawal from the university during
		  a semester, summer term, or session, constitutes withdrawal from all courses in
		  which a student is enrolled during that semester, summer term, or session. Upon
		  official notification of the student's withdrawal from the university, the
		  university registrar is authorized to enter the dated notation
		  "withdrew" on the student's official permanent
		  record.
(B) To withdraw from any or all courses,
		  a student must file the appropriate form with the authorized representative of
		  the dean or director of the student's enrollment unit.
(C) Until close of business of the fourth
		  Friday of a semester or summer term; the second Friday of a seven-week session
		  during a semester, or a six- or eight-week session during summer term; or the
		  first Friday of a four-week summer session, a student may withdraw from any or
		  all courses which began in the same semester, summer term, or session and no
		  record for the course(s) will be entered on the student's official
		  permanent record.
(D) After close of business of the fourth
		  Friday of a semester or summer term; the second Friday of a seven-week session
		  during a semester, or a six- or eight-week session during summer term; or the
		  first Friday of a four-week summer session, if a student withdraws from any or
		  all courses which began in the same semester, summer term, or session, the
		  university registrar is authorized to enter the mark "W" on the
		  student's official permanent record for the courses
		  withdrawn.
(E) Until close of business on the
		  following days, student may submit a form in their enrollment unit to drop a
		  course or withdraw from the university:
(1) The tenth Friday, for
			 courses taken during a full-term autumn, spring, or summer semester
			 
(2)  The sixth Friday,
			 for courses taken during an eight-week summer session
(3) The fifth Friday, for
			 courses taken during a seven-week session in an autumn or spring semester
			 
(4)  The fourth Friday,
			 for courses taken during a six-week summer session
(5)  The third Friday,
			 for courses taken during a four-week summer session 
After those dates, a student, who because of
		  circumstances beyond their control finds it necessary to withdraw from any or
		  all courses, must file the appropriate petition with the authorized
		  representative of the dean or director of the enrollment unit. Reasons not
		  acceptable include (but are not limited to) the student's performance in
		  the course(s), lack of preparation for the course(s), or dissatisfaction with
		  the subject matter offered in the course(s). If the petition is approved, a
		  copy will be filed with the university registrar who is then authorized to
		  enter the mark "W" on the student's official permanent record
		  and the instructor(s) of the course(s) will be so notified. If the petition is
		  not approved, the student continues to be enrolled in the course(s) and a final
		  mark must be submitted by the instructor(s). Withdrawal from any and all
		  courses shall not be permitted after the last day of regularly scheduled
		  classes except when the student experiences a genuine emergency after the
		  regularly scheduled classes end and prior to sitting for the final examination
		  in a given course or courses.
(F) The deadlines listed in this rule
		  shall be extended as spelled out in paragraph (L)(6) of rule 3335-8-21 of the
		  Administrative Code in any semester in which exceptional circumstances have
		  been declared.
