to be permitted to withdraw from school and still take final examinations?

Per Dick Harmon, Harvey is taking his finals this week, "neatly tucking away more credits towards graduation."

No school I know of allows you to withdraw from class after a certain "drop dead" date. After that date, you get a grade. Period.

Does BYU not have such withdrawl deadlines?

I don't get the timeline that Harmon or anybody is reporting here.

How do you withdraw right before finals?

How do you officially withdraw right before finals and STILL take the finals?

It would seem that he hasn't really withdrawn from school at all, at least not yet.
