Yes. Chronic absences often result in poor course grades, and can also be cause for faculty to have students administratively withdrawn from their course. Students who are administratively withdrawn from their Learning Support class will also be withdrawn from any corresponding college-level classes. Please reserve absences for extreme circumstances. Students who encounter extenuating circumstances are encouraged to contact the Dean of Students on their home campus to discuss whether or not a hardship withdrawal might be warranted.
Students with Learning Support requirements must enroll in their required Learning Support (LS) courses each semester of attendance until the requirements have been completed. Learning Support courses numbered below the 1000-level do not carry college-level credit leading to graduation; however, the courses do count toward hours of enrollment, eligibility for sorority/fraternity membership, being excused from military quarters, and for various other college activities that require a certain number of credit hours. Being in Learning Support classes does not affect one's eligibility for financial aid, provided a student meets all financial aid requirements. Grades in Learning Support numbered below the 1000-level courses are not calculated into students’ GPA, but successful completion of LS coursework is a requirement for completion of Area A requirements.
Federal Financial Aid (Pell Grant, Subsidized loans, and Unsubsidized loans) will pay for Learning Support courses. HOPE will not pay for LS coursework numbered below the 1000-level.
Please consult with Student Accessibility Services as soon as possible. You may be eligible for certain accommodations. Any information shared with this office remains strictly confidential.
Help is available through a variety of workshops, as well as by scheduling an appointment with the Student Counseling center for one-on-one assistance.
While there are no academic penalties for withdrawing from a class prior to the midpoint, there may be financial aid consequences as well as effects on UNG’s Course Repeats policy (see next bullet). Please discuss any withdrawals with your professor, your advisor, and with financial aid prior to submitting a withdrawal request.
UNG allows students a maximum of three tries in a course. If, upon the third time taking a course, a student does not earn a passing grade, s/he is no longer permitted to take that course at UNG. UNG counts withdrawals as well as non-passing grades in this policy.
All Area A requirements must be completed by the time students complete 30 credit hours. Students who do not complete LS requirements by the time they earn 30 hours will have their schedules restricted to only LS coursework until completed. (Board of Regents policy)
Faculty may have students administratively withdrawn at any point in the semester for missing assignments or for excessive absences. This results in a grade of WF if initiated after the midpoint.
Students who withdraw or are withdrawn from one of their Corequisite courses are also withdrawn from the Corequisite course paired with it.
Students who encounter extenuating circumstances are encouraged to contact the Dean of Students on their home campus to discuss whether or not a hardship withdrawal might be warranted.
Midpoint (last day to withdraw from a full-session UNG course without academic penalty): Friday, October 13, 2023. First short, Second short, and eCore classes all have a different midpoint. Check the UNG Calendars for specific dates.
