Not Accountable

Not Accountable status may be approved by a Faculty Petitions Committee when a student experiences documented extenuating circumstances. This designation is intended for exceptional situations that could not be addressed through a course drop, as students are able to drop courses until the last day of classes.  When a term is approved as Not Accountable, the words “Not Accountable” appear on the official transcript for that term. All courses in the term are recorded as WD (Withdrawn), are not included in GPA calculations, and do not count as an attempt.

Not Accountable status applies to the entire academic term only and cannot be applied to individual courses. Requests to designate selected courses within a term as Not Accountable will not be considered and this regulation is not appealable.  Not Accountable terms are not eligible for a tuition refund or for the tuition fee appeal process, as the courses remain on the official transcript.
