A student may withdraw from the university during the first half of the semester. The Registrar's Office will determine comparable deadlines for courses less than a semester in length. After the deadline, a student may request permission to withdraw only for extraordinary non-academic reasons. Any such requst must be completed by the last day of instruction in that semester. The request must include a written explanation of the circumstances leading to the request of documentation, if appropriate. Any such requests are to be submitted to the Advising Center for appropriate action. Students may not request a withdrawal from a completed semester. Please see the Advising Center for current policy.

Dropping a class or withdrawal from the university may result in a financial obligation for tuition and fees, and may necessitate repayment of financial aid.

In addition, Federal and State regulations for financial aid require a refund calculation to occur for financial aid recipients through the 60% point of the semester. Contact the Cashier's and Financial Aid Offices for information.
