A Retroactive Withdrawal (RW) is a petition request for undergraduate students to appeal for course(s) to be retroactively withdrawn from their transcript due to an unforeseen circumstance during that semester. For example, if you attended classes for 3 weeks, then were hospitalized and due to the hospitalization were unable to withdraw from the course.
Retroactive withdrawals are usually submitted for all courses that you were enrolled in during that semester.
An approved retroactive withdrawal changes a WU grade to a grade of W.
Retroactive withdrawals and Charge Deletions cannot be submitted once you have graduated and your academic records are sealed.
