Question on Withdrawal from Class

<p>The deadline to withdraw with an automatic W is March 6th. I am withdrawing from one class because I took too many units this semester, and I am doing poorly in that one class. On their website it says that the withdrawal has to be approved. Skip to last paragraph if you don't want to read what's next.</p>

<p>Submitting an eDrop request is not a confirmation that the course has been dropped from your schedule.
Once submitted, your eDrop request will be routed to the appropriate advisor, department chair, and/or dean for approval.
Once approved, your request will be processed and an e-mail confirming that the drop is official will be sent to your university e-mail account.
Until you receive an e-mail which says the drop has been approved and processed, or until you confirm via "My eDocs," you are still enrolled in the course. All rules and requirements still apply, and you should continue to attend the class.</p>

<p>Has anyone ever been denied from withdrawing from a class if they meet the deadline for an automatic W? For what reasons would they deny the request? And how long will it take to confirm my request?</p>
