LaGuardia’s academic calendar consists of two enhanced 18-week semesters. Each semester is split into a 12-week session (Fall I and Spring I) and a 6-week session (Fall II and Spring II). Classes are longer and/or meet more frequently in Fall II and Spring II, since students have to complete Session I coursework in half the time.
This structure provides students with the option of earning more credits per semester than a traditional academic calendar. It also allows greater flexibility and choice in designing a program of study.

A “WD” grade indicates that the student attended a class at least once before dropping it. A“WD” grade does not appear on the transcript and is not calculated into the GPA.
Withdraw – Students may withdraw from classes after the last day to drop for 25% tuition refund through the last day to Withdraw; receive a “W” grade that is not calculated into the GPA. Students whoofficially withdraw from a course are NOT eligible for a tuition refund.

Return to Title IV Funds (R2T4) – R2T4 refers to the calculation required when a recipient of Title IV aid withdraws from an institution during a payment period/period of enrollment in which the recipient began attendance. The calculation compares the amount of Title IV aid the recipient earned to the amount disbursed and determines whether funds must be returned, or the student is eligible for a post-withdrawal disbursement.
