Spring 2025 Course Drop & Withdrawals
The deadline to drop (but not add) a course for the Spring 2025 semester is Monday, February 17, 2025. If you drop a course by this deadline, the course will be permanently removed from your record and you will not incur a W grade. As a result of the course drop, you may incur credit deficiencies. Please review the "Late Course Drops: What You Need to Know" document for more detailed information.
The deadline to withdraw from a course for the Spring 2025 semester is Tuesday, April 22, 2025. If you withdraw from a course, you will have a W grade permanently recorded in your academic record. A grade of W has no effect on your GPA, but you may incur credit deficiences. Please review the "Course Withdrawals: What You Need to Know" document for more detailed information.
A meeting is not required to drop or withdraw from a course, but if you have any questions, please email aac@bc.edu.
First-year students who have already met with their advisor and have more in-depth questions may make an advising appointment with their Academic Administrator.
