Can professors drop students this late into the semester?

Typically, when professors withdraw a student administratively from a class, it isn’t because the student is failing. Usually they let the student themselves decide whether or not they want to pass or take the W. Usually when a professor withdraws a student from a class it’s because the student stopped showing up to class completely, or shows up so sporadically that the professor isn’t sure whether the student is actually taking the class. I would suspect - unless your professor or college is unusual - that you’ve missed more than “a few” classes for your professor to have withdrawn you from the class.

You can’t just show up for quizzes and tests and miss the rest of your classes.
