Any student who withdraws from UNT prior to the end of the sixth week of classes (summer term, eight class sessions) is given grades of W and is not penalized with a reduced cumulative GPA. Any student who withdraws after this period, but at least two weeks before the first day of final exams (summer term, six class sessions prior to finals), is given grades of W or WF depending upon the student's grade average at the time of withdrawal. Grades of WF are included as hours attempted in calculating a student's minimum UNT cumulative grade point average required to remain in good standing. A student who does not officially withdraw from the university is held responsible for grades of F and is placed on probation or suspended from the university if the grades of F bring the cumulative GPA below the minimum required.

Official dates and deadlines for withdrawal are listed in the Academic Calendar and Schedule of Classes.
