<p>Hello. I am currently taking a physics class. I may have to withdraw from one of my Spring classes because of a medical reasons (mother has a medical condition which requires me to stay home and help her out more). If I drop the class I will receive a W on my transcript. Do you guys know or have heard of anybody petitioning to not get the W since its passed the deadline? And what reasons did they use for their petition.</p>
<p>At many colleges, there is a student withdrawal grade, and also an instructor withdrawal grade (at my college, it is a ‘V’). Talk to the teacher and see if that is an option. Another alternative would be to ask for an Incomplete grade, and then complete the course during the next session.</p>
