History and Development of the Withdrawal Policy
The UNC Charlotte academic policy for undergraduate students’ withdrawal from courses changed in Fall 2014. The goal of the policy on Withdrawals is to encourage student success by reducing the number of unsuccessful course attempts and the undesired consequences that such attempts can have on student debt and timely graduation.
