What does the grade WP mean?

WP means Withdrawn Pre-semester (i.e. withdrawn early).

WP is used where you have withdrawn on or before:

  • Semester 1 units - 21 days from the start of teaching of semester 1 (includes teaching start date). This is normally the end of Week 3 (Sunday).
  • Semester 2 units - 21 days from the start of teaching of semester 2 (includes teaching start date). This is normally the end of Week 3 (Sunday).
  • Units in non-standard teaching periods - 21 days from the start of the teaching period  (includes teaching start date) or the census date, whichever is earlier.
If you have withdrawn from a unit early WP (Withdrawn Pre-semester) the unit will not show on your formal Statement of Academic Record (UWA transcript). Units withdrawn early WP will not contribute to your calculated study load. The units will show on studentConnect, as a record.
 
Please refer to the Student Enrolment Policy Schedule A: Unit Withdrawal Codes, available on the UWA Policy Library, for more information.
