  2. Course drops during the first three weeks of any term, apart from summer session, will be without penalty (Drop/Delete Period).
  3. Course drops during the period of week four to week eight will automatically receive a grade of WD (Drop Penalty 1; no effect on the average calculations).
  4. Course drops during the final weeks of the term (week nine and onward) will automatically be assigned the grade of WF (Drop Penalty 2; 32% is recorded in the average calculations).
