Withdrawals

Students who are considering withdrawing from a course (or courses) should consider the following implications:

  • Progress to Graduation
  • Financial aid
  • Withdrawal limit
  • Course attempts
  • Housing
  • Meal plan
  • Health insurance
  • Student visa status (for international students)
  • Veteran Benefits
  • Athletic status
  • Refund eligibility

Students can explore various options, including a partial withdrawal with extenuating circumstances, which is one or more classes, or a full withdrawal with extenuating circumstances, which is the entire course load for the semester. A withdrawal due to extenuating circumstances is a withdrawal granted to those students who have experienced an event outside their control that has impacted their academic life.

Be sure to meet with the appropriate campus representatives to review your situation. Students are responsible for adhering to deadlines regarding the Withdrawal with Extenuating Circumstances process. It is essential to meet posted deadlines to ensure full and timely consideration of your request.
