Withdrawals

No record is made of individual course withdrawals during the 100-percent refund period for each course. Grades of "W" will appear on the student record for any courses dropped after the 100-percent refund period. The course remains on the student's grade report and transcript with a "W." The course will be counted in hours attempted but not in the GPA calculation. 

Only students with extenuating circumstances can withdraw after 75 percent of the course has taken place. This date is calculated based on the published beginning and ending date for the course. A student who needs to late withdraw from a course after 75 percent of the course has taken place needs written approval of the course instructor, program director and dean for the withdrawal. Such permission will be granted only for serious reasons. No withdrawal may be made after the final class or examination. Late withdrawals are processed on an Advising and Registration/Change of Registration form available on the Registrar's website, on the Forms page. Upon completing the form and obtaining approval, it must be processed by the Office of the Registrar to be reflected on your official student record.

Withdrawal process

Withdrawals can be completed online in your portal account in the same place that you completed your registration. When you navigate to the correct semester, you will see your schedule of currently registered courses. Next to each course is a drop-down box where you can choose "Web Withdraw with W", and then "Submit". You will then see the status of the course on your schedule change to "Withdrawn".

Additional information on withdrawals:

When withdrawing from a course, it is important you understand the repercussions. Withdrawing from a semester or dropping a course extends the time it takes to complete your program and will cost you more money. If using Federal Financial Aid, a Return to Title IV calculation must be completed and a portion of your aid could be returned. Please visit the R2T4 policy on the Financial Aid page for more information.
