Withdrawal from the University
Withdrawing from the University (i.e., ceasing to be enrolled in any class) can have serious academic and financial consequences if not handled properly. A student should never simply stop attending class with no official notice to the University (see also Course Withdrawal section). When a student is considering withdrawal or transfer to another institution, the matter should be discussed with the student’s advisor, another faculty member, and/or a member of the University staff. Once the student makes a decision to withdraw, he or she should obtain a withdrawal form under Student Forms in Student Planning. Residential students will need to vacate their room in the residence halls on the same day as their withdrawal.
A student should always follow these procedures if withdrawing during a semester or term. The administration strongly recommends the same procedure for those who complete a semester or term but do not plan to continue for the succeeding semester or term. If the student wishes to appeal for withdrawal without academic penalty, he or she must furnish a letter to the Office of the Provost outlining the extenuating circumstances under which he or she makes this request.
Current students that do not attend enrolled courses, but do not officially withdraw from the college, will be administratively withdrawn following the enrollment verification period. Students wishing to re-enroll will be required to complete an admissions application.
