Withdrawal Policy

Students may officially withdraw (W) from a class or all classes after the drop deadline through the midpoint of a course. A “W” grade is recorded on the transcript and appropriate tuition/fees are assessed. The grade of "W" is not used in calculating the student's GPA.

See the Academic Calendar for the last day to withdraw from term, first and second session classes. Students may withdraw from workshops, miscellaneous, and short term classes according to the Deadlines for Courses With Irregular Start and End Dates policy.

How to Withdraw:

• Students can withdraw online by logging into Campus Information Services, click on the "Registration" tile on your Student Homepage, and click on the “Drop Class” link.
• Students in PRTL, PRTS, and PRTW classes for credit should contact the Registration & Records Division through UMail.
• Students enrolled in noncredit classes should contact the Continuing Education Office.

Non-Academic Emergencies

Students facing compelling, non-academic emergencies may petition to withdraw from courses after the withdrawal deadline through the last day of class for the course.  The Petition for Consideration of Exception to the Withdrawal Policy is available through the appropriate dean’s office:

• Students with pre-majors and declared majors apply to the office of the dean of their academic college.
• Undeclared and non-matriculated students should contact the Navigate Hub for Exploring Students.
• International students on an F1 or J1 visa who are requesting a total withdrawal must include a letter of support from International Student & Scholar Services.
• Students with financial aid, veteran benefits, or athletic aid should consult with these respective departments regarding potential impacts before filing a petition.
