Hello all,
This is usually the worst post I have to write up every semester.
Before you do anything, make sure you check your grade book here.
Just a reminder, the final date to OFFICIALLY WITHDRAW from a course with a grade of W is Tuesday, April 1, 2025. Not attending the course is not equivalent to withdrawing from a course; it only results in a WU grade, which is equivalent to an F. If you fail the course, it stays on your transcript and adversely affects your GPA. An F grade at the end of the semester will not be erased and will be combined with the grades of your other classes. With a W, CUNY and City Tech will treat it as if you had never attended the class- no harm no foul.
However, it should be noted that a WU on a transcript looks even worse than an F in some cases – as it shows that you could have done something to fix your situation, but it appears to someone (perhaps a job recruiter of some sort) that you were irresponsible enough to not do something about it when the option was available to you.
I understand that some of you are also taking classes that have this math class as a prerequisite or corequisite. If you are passing that other class, you might want to consider staying in this class if it allows you to keep passing the other class, but just speak with all departments involved to make sure that this is the best decision for you.
Note: NYCCT will NOT be doing Credit / No Credit this semester. If you haven’t been attending class, you need to withdraw as soon as possible.
Just be sure to check with the Financial Aid Office in NG013 to see how you withdrawing will affect your financial aid.
You can either do this at the Office of the Registrar in NG015, or withdraw on CUNYFirst. Here are the directions.
If you believe yourself to be failing this course, please email me at vilee@citytech.cuny.edu
