To Drop a Course: 

To Drop with a "W":

After the 5th day of a quad course, or the 10th day of a full term course, you may still drop a course, but you will receive a "W" on your transcript to indicate that you were registered for the course, but chose to remove withdraw from the course.

Academic Petition

Under rare circumstances, students may feel an exception to policy is warranted due to unique circumstances. Requests for an exception to an academic policy must always be addressed through the academic petition process. The academic petition may be found on the undergraduate forms page. Petitions may be approved or denied after review. If you have questions about the petition policy, please reach out to registrar@wheaton.edu. 

Course Review Petition

Occasionally, students may have taken a course via transfer credit that they feel has been articulated differently than they expected it to be. Students have the right to file a course review petition for Christ at the Core courses. This is done by completing a course review petition. Students must submit the petition, along with a course syllabus. Both the course review petition and the academic petition can be found on the undergraduate forms page. For reviews of non-Christ at the Core requirements, reach out to academic.advising@wheaton.edu or in the case of a course for the major, your major department chair.

Repair Your GPA

Students looking to repair their GPA should consider:

Withdraw or Cancel Enrollment

Any student finding it necessary to withdraw from the College while currently enrolled in class must complete and submit the Withdraw or Cancel Enrollment Form. For more information on the Form and process, see this page. For policies, see the catalog. Questions regarding withdrawing or cancelling enrollment should be directed to student.wellness@wheaton.edu

Leave of Absence

The purpose of a Leave of Absence (LOA) is to provide students time away from Wheaton College for treatment of a medical or mental health condition that impairs a student’s ability to function successfully or safely as a member of the Wheaton College community. Please see the Student Wellness Office (SSB 218) or email student.wellness@wheaton.edu) for the details of this policy.
