Strategy Eval: Load up flat fee, then withdraw for no additional cost.

Mucho Gracias!
1) Capstone: Ok so they aren't subject matter experts, just there to guide you in writing a research paper, more like what you'd expect in an English comp class + learning how to use quantitative data to back it up if required?

2) Withdrawal: I can't really find information about grades we'll get if we dropped/withdraw from a class. There's a refund policy and schedule, but not what happens to our grades/GPA when we withdraw. According to the withdrawal form (thanks) we only get a F or NC if this was submitted before the last day of the term?...
@thecarrynothing, where did you see that after 21 = F or NC?

"Requests for course withdrawals must be completed on Online Student Services, on this form or in a letter to the Office of the Registrar containing all the information requested on this form. Withdrawal requests must be received in the Registrar's office prior to the last day of the term or they will not be processed. The submission date, postmark, fax date, or e-mail send date of a written withdrawal request will be the official date of the withdrawal. Requests received later will be denied and a grade of "F" or "NC" will be assigned."

3) Great to know there's no limitation and I can just go online and register for the 16 credits

a) How many total hours would you say an average class is, @bjcheung77? I'm planning for 42 (per three-credit class)

I was basing it on the last day to get a refund (if eligible), which seems to be incorrect.

According to this policy, a final grade of F is assigned when:

• a student does not complete the course work and examination(s) for a course and does not request a withdrawal or extension before the course has ended; OR
  
• the overall average on all course work (including examinations) is below the passing level (59 or below).
