Academic Advising

Withdrawing from the University

A student who wishes to withdraw from all classes during a term (even if only registered for one course) must do the following:

  1.  Notify the appropriate college dean in person or in writing;
  2.  Obtain authorization from the dean by completing a withdrawal form;
  3.  Submit the form to the Office of the Registrar;
  4.  If a campus resident, notify the Office of Residence Life.

A student is considered to be enrolled until officially withdrawn.

Failure to withdraw officially from the University will result in grades of “VF” for all courses. Once a semester begins, withdrawal from the University is recorded as an “Official Withdrawal” on the student’s academic record.

A student who wishes to withdraw from the University between semesters is not required to withdraw formally but is encouraged to contact his/her academic advisor or dean about the decision.
