FAQs

• A “Part of Term” (POT) is the time frame within the semester a course is taught. Some courses run over the entire semester, some run 6 or 8 weeks within the semester, and some have more uncommon time ranges. There are about 13 different Parts of Term overall.

• Students may view a course’s Part of Term in the Classmate app in MyUWF. Click here for a screenshot of Classmate displaying Part of Term information.

• Please see Understanding Parts of Term for full details.

• Drops

• • If the course is still within the “Drop/Add Period” as outlined in the Official Academic Calendar, the student can drop a class from their schedule with no tuition liability and without that course being part of their academic record. The student must know the course’s Part of Term in order to find the correct Drop/Add Period in the Academic Calendar. See previous FAQ for more on “Parts of Term.” 

• • For instructions on dropping a course, please see Dropping Courses.

• • The Registrar’s Office is your best resource for any questions about this process.

• Individual Course Withdrawals

• • After the Drop/Add Period, a student may withdraw from a course as long as they do so before that course’s withdrawal deadline as published in the Academic Calendar. In this case as well, the student must know the course’s Part of Term in order to find the correct withdrawal deadline in the Academic calendar. Refunds are not issued for individual course withdrawals and a “W” will be assigned for the grade that displays in the student’s academic record.

• It may be that you haven’t submitted the required Student Assessment of Instruction (SAI) for one of your courses.

• You must complete an SAI by the end of each of your courses that has an active enrollment of more than 5, or a hold will be placed on your student record.

• The SAI Evaluation Hold, or Grade Hold, will prevent you from viewing your unofficial transcript, DegreeWorks audit, and your final grades.

• Any courses where SAIs were not submitted will cause a hold that will not be removed until the Friday of grades week.

• Please see this site for further SAI details and information.
