Withdrawal Form

 Withdrawal from a Class

After the drop-add period, the last day to withdraw from an enrolled course with a “W” is generally October 31 or March 31. In online 8 week terms, the last day to withdraw from an enrolled class with a “W” is the last day of the fifth week.  The last day to withdraw from an enrolled course with a “WP” or “WF” is the last class day before final examinations. Residential students should contact the Student Services Center for instructions regarding withdrawal from a course; online students may fill out the Online Learning Withdrawal Form. It is the student’s responsibility to withdraw officially from a class, and all students should be aware that there are negative academic and financial consequences if they fail to do so. This policy includes all classroom courses for credit, independent studies for credit, internships, practicums, and audit courses.

Withdrawal from the University

Any students desiring to drop their entire schedule and withdraw from the university must not only withdraw from classes, but must complete the exit process and receive the necessary signatures from:

  • The instructor of the last class attended
  • Advisors
  • Campus Security
  • Cierpke Memorial Library
  • The Office of Student Development
  • The Office of Financial Aid
  • The Student Services Center

Students who withdraw before their federal aid has been “earned” may have to return their federal aid (see the academic catalog). Students living in the dormitory must turn in keys and ID card when checking out with their RD or RA. Any off-campus student must turn in the ID card to the Office of Student Development.
