Academic Standing<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The University has academic classifications based on grade point average (GPA) to help staff, faculty, and students determine academic progress. Academic Advisors use this standing when helping you make decisions about enrollment and progress towards your degree. Students may be in Good, Caution, Warning, or Pause Standing. For details on each of these terms as well as instructions on returning to NAU through Reinstatement after an Academic Pause review the Academic Standing Policy<\/a>. You can also view our Frequently Asked Questions about Academic Standing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dropping a Class with a ‘W”<\/h2>\n

What a “W” means: <\/strong>If you decide to drop a class after the deadline to drop without a “W”, you will see that class on your transcript with a “W” instead of a letter grade. This simply means that you withdrew after the deadline. While “W”s do not impact your GPA, be sure to read about other potential complications below! You can find the deadline to drop classes on the Registrar’s website by looking at the Class Session Calendar found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
