Withdrawals
As 2024-2025, undergraduate students are limited to a total of six 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 course withdrawals regardless of the number of credit hours per course. After the withdrawal limit is reached, students will be blocked from further course withdrawals by the University's registration system. Unused withdrawals shall be forfeited.
Courses with a grade of "WM" (medical withdrawal), "WS" (military withdrawal), "WR" (withdrawn refund) and "WA" (administrative withdrawals) are not counted in the limitation. Any undergraduate course withdrawals at 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 prior to Fall 2013 and those that occurred during the spring 2020 term are also not counted towards withdrawal limits but will continue to be reflected on the student's transcript.
A student who has exceeded their withdrawal limit as a result of extraordinary, documented circumstances that are clearly beyond the student's control may appeal for exceeding the withdrawal limit to the Student Petition of Academic Policy (SPAP) Committee prior to the end of the term within which the student is enrolled. The course instructor, department chair, academic advisor and/or program director may recommend an action to support or not support the withdrawal, give no recommendation, or write an explanation of the applicable circumstances. Final approval/disapproval authority rests with the SPAP Committee.
Students are strongly encouraged to contact their academic advisors or program directors to discuss and understand how withdrawals will impact academic persistence, including time to graduation and meeting degree requirements. Students receiving financial aid who withdraw or plan to withdraw from any classes should contact the Department of Financial Aid via One-Stop Student Services to understand federal aid and scholarship award consequences and obligations. Students receiving VA benefits should contact the Military and Veterans Resource Center (MVRC).
A student may withdraw via myWings after the add/drop period through the withdrawal deadline as posted on the Academic Calendar. Upon completion of the withdrawal process, a grade of "W" will be assigned and no refund will be generated. If a student stops attending classes without officially withdrawing, a final grade of "F" may be assigned.
Graduate programs may have specific policies regarding the number of withdrawals allowed within the program. Graduate students are advised to first consult with their graduate program director before withdrawing from any course.
Late Withdrawals After the Deadline
A student who misses the withdrawal deadline as a result of extraordinary, documented circumstances may appeal for late withdrawal to the Student Petition of Academic Policy (SPAP) Committee prior to the end of classes for the term within which the student is enrolled. The course instructor, department chair, academic advisor and/or program director may recommend an action to support or not support the withdrawal, give no recommendation, or write an explanation of the applicable circumstances. Final approval/disapproval authority rests with the SPAP Committee.
Complete Withdrawals
Complete Withdrawal is the formal process of leaving the University. Once the Complete Withdrawal has been processed, the student's academic responsibility with the University will be discontinued and they will show as officially unenrolled based on the date of withdrawal. Dropping all classes or withdrawing from all classes in a term is not the same as a Complete Withdrawal from the University.
Students who completely withdraw from the University remain fee liable and receive a grade of WC in each course. The assigned "WC" grades will count towards the withdrawal limit and will remain on the academic transcript.
A Complete Withdrawal must be initiated by a student's academic advisor after meeting with the student A student who received a Complete Withdrawal may not continue to attend class(es). A student who wants to enroll in a future term after a Complete Withdrawal must meet with an academic advisor, after which the advisor will notify the Office of Records and Registration prior to removing registration hold. A student who breaks continuous enrollment after a Complete Withdrawal must reapply for admission and is subject to all admission and academic program requirements at the time of reapplication.
A Complete Withdrawal is not to be confused with withdrawing from all courses in a term or withdrawing from all courses in a term to receive a 25 percent refund of tuition and fees. Students not covered under the University's official Withdrawal policy are those who withdraw from all courses (excluding Summer A, B, 8- and 10-week courses) by the deadline posted on the Academic Calendar and receive the refund but intend to re-enroll at the University at a later date.
