To better serve undergraduate students, the University of Iowa has made a pair of changes to the academic calendar that are effective immediately.
Final Day for Undergraduates to Drop a Course
The final day for undergraduates to drop an individual semester-length course is now Monday, Nov. 14. Previously the deadline was Monday, Oct. 31. The new date provides students with additional time to meet with their advisors after mid-term grades and evaluate their academic performance.
Monday, Nov. 14 is also the final date for undergraduates to withdraw their entire registration. Undergraduate students who wish to drop a course or withdraw their registration after that date will need approval from the dean.
Friday, Sept. 2 is still the final day for a student to drop a course without a “W” being recorded on the student’s transcript. This allows the Office of Student Financial Aid to correctly calculate pace for satisfactory academic progress.
