Academic Engagement

Effective Fall 2025, a last date of academic engagement must be included when entering a “Z” (unauthorized withdrawal) or an “I” (Incomplete).  Any of the following activities will count as academic engagement:

1. Student attendance in an in-person course.
2. Documented student participation in an interactive tutorial, webinar, or other interactive or computer-assisted instruction.
3. Student submission of an academic assignment or an exam.
4. An email from the student or other documentation showing student-initiated contact with a faculty member.
5. A posting by the student showing the student's participation in an online study group that is assigned by the institution, or a posting by the student in a discussion forum showing the student's participation in an online discussion about academic matters.
6. An email from the student about the academic subject studied in the course.
