- In 2009 it was brought to the attention of various admissions and enrollment personnel by several students that the published "last day student initiated withdraw accepted" did not match what was printing on a student's schedule from SIS. The A&R Council is recommending that in order to resolve this, we list an + and ++ in place of the date, and at the bottom of the calendar note:
  - +See your student schedule in my.maricopa.edu for the Last Day to Withdraw without an Instructor Signature for each class in which you are enrolled.
  - ++Refer to the Important Deadlines for Students to determine the Last Day Student Initiated Withdrawal will be accepted.
