Withdraw Deadline withdraw

The withdraw deadline for fall 2018 is October 25th. A student who withdraws from a course will receive a grade of "W". This grade will be recorded (and remain) on the student's transcript regardless of the status of the student in the course at the time of the withdrawal. Trying to weigh your options? Please read the document below to review what factors to consider before making this decision.


Repeat Option repeatoption

Students have two options they can select when repeating a course at JMU. During registration, students can elect either the "Repeat Credit" or "Repeat Forgive" option. Once registration is over, students can edit their repeat option up until the end of the course adjustment period in MyMadison. The course adjustment deadline for fall is October 25th. For more information about the two repeat options, please read the handout below.
