W Withdrawal (see description below)
Y The “Y” designation indicates that a student is registered in an ongoing class. It
may be used where the pace of work is largely dependent on the student in courses such as independent project classes or open laboratory/clinic classes. If you do not complete the class within one year, you must re-enroll if you want credit.
Grade Change
A change of grade must be executed within two quarters, excluding summer, after the grade is earned. Initiating a grade change is the student’s responsibility. The course may still be repeated for a different grade after the deadline for grade changes has passed. Contact the course instructor to discuss the process for grade changes.
Withdrawal
A “W” designation indicates that you have dropped a class. The last day of each quarter to withdraw from classes is specified on the official Academic Calendar. Complete information on withdrawing from a class is available in the admissions/registration office.
Instructors may choose to administratively withdraw a student who does not attend the first two days of class, but the responsibility of withdrawing still lies with the student. Do not assume an instructor will withdraw you for not attending class. When in doubt, check the student portal to determine if you are still registered for the class or contact the admissions/ registration office. Failure to formally withdraw from class will normally result in a failing grade. You can withdraw through the Registration function on the MyWVC Portal. You can also submit a Course Change form, available in the admissions/registration office.
Audit
The “N” designation indicates that a student has elected to take a class with the understanding that no credit will be earned and no grade given. Students who choose
to audit a class do not have to take the tests, but the instructor may require reasonable attendance and class participation. Full tuition and fees are charged for classes taken on an audit basis. Changes from credit to audit are permitted until the end of the 30th day of instruction. The instructor’s written approval is required after the fifth day of instruction. You will need to turn a completed course change form, with the instructor’s signature, into the admissions/registration office to change a class to an audit status.
