A students failure to come to class will not automatically result in the student being dropped from the course. This semester, the final drop date is February 3 to get a refund. Withdrawing from the Course UNM-Taos new policy is to discourage instructors from giving WPs and WFs (withdrawal Passing/Failing grades). Instead, students who do not drop the course are to be given the grades they earned in the course of the semester at the end of the semester.
