24/25 W Grade Request

You will be required to sign in with your VT email (@vt.edu) at the bottom of this page. Do not use Gmail.  Submissions will not be accepted from email addresses other than vt.edu.

This form is used for students in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (regardless of which department is teaching the course) that are seeking to apply for a W grade for a course in the current term.

W Grade Policy The W grade option is available after the last day to drop a course through the last day of classes for each term. A final grade of a W is awarded for each course where this policy is applied.  Students are permitted to use a W grade for up to three courses during their academic career at Virginia Tech.
It is recommended that you meet with your advisor to discuss the change that you want to make.  

• Use this form if you would like to withdraw from a course after the drop deadline.
• If you have used your 3 W grades, the Associate Dean cannot approve your request. The W grade policy is set by the University.
• Your course may continue to show in Canvas after you request a W grade. The course will remain on your schedule. In HokieSpa, it will have the grade mode of "Course Withdraw." A grade of W for the course will show up on your transcript after the end of the semester.
