Withdrawal
Withdrawal Types
Course Withdrawal
- Withdrawal from individual courses while remaining enrolled in other courses.
- Must be done within the specified withdrawal period each semester which can be found on the university’s academic calendar.
- Students who withdraw from individual courses may re-enroll in subsequent semesters without additional application procedures.
University Withdrawal
- Students must complete a University Withdrawal Form, available online or at the Registrar’s Office.
- Schedule an exit interview with an academic advisor to discuss the reasons for withdrawal and potential impacts.
- Students who withdraw from the university and wish to return must apply for readmission through the Admissions Office.
- Readmission is subject to the current admission standards and degree requirements.
Administrative Withdrawal
- Administrative withdrawal may be initiated by faculty, staff, or university administration by submitting a withdrawal form to the Registrar’s Office. Upon receipt, the Registrar’s Office will hold the form for five business days while notifying the student. The student will be informed in writing of the potential administrative withdrawal, including the reasons and supporting evidence. If the student does not successfully appeal within this period, the Registrar will finalize the withdrawal. Notification of the withdrawal will then be sent via email to the student, instructor, advisor, and Financial Aid Office.
