If you do not meet the first assignment deadline, I will assume you do not wish to stay in the class and drop you unless you contact me.  After that, it is your responsibility to drop the course. The last date to drop the course with a W is April 11. Drops will not be backdated. Contact the counseling center or the distance learning help desk to drop the course.
