  According to this both WE and WD have no numerical value and therefor will not affect your GPA https://www.sfu.ca/content/sfu/students/calendar/2013/fall/student-info/grading-systems-policies/grading-systems-and-policies.html#records-transcripts .

  
  

  The deadline to withdraw from a course online has passed, so you will have to see an adviser.

  @bluewings Keep in mind that a WE is the only way to currently drop a course and it is only for extenuating circumstances. Generally, you will only be given a WE for a death in the family, injury or sickness. They don't normally let you WE one course and make you withdraw all of them. You will also need to show documentation. 

  
  

  In other words if you go to the counselors and say I want to drop it because it is hard or I took too many courses this semester they will not let you.

  I had to drop a class under WE last year, it was a really easy process as long as you have a doctor's note/proper documentation. Stays on your record but doesn't affect your GPA or 5 repeat maximum or anything
