Withdraw from the University

If you need to take a semester off for personal or financial reasons, it's best to go through the official withdrawal process to make sure your accounts are in good standing when you are ready to return. 

Students are strongly encouraged to consider and investigate alternatives to withdrawing. Many options and resources are available to assist students in making an informed decision. 

• Read Dos and Don’ts of Withdrawal below.
• Fill out and file the electronic withdrawal form. The official withdrawal date determines tuition refund and legal or student insurance claims.
• Note: Withdrawal may affect Title IV Financial Aid awarded to you. Please see  return of Title IV funds policy.
• Resolve all financial obligations to the university and return all university property.

Dos and Don’ts of WithdrawalWithdrawal

• Failure to attend class does not constitute a withdrawal and does not excuse a student from the student's financial obligations.
• There is no adjustment to the tuition and fee charges if a student withdraws or drops a class after the add/drop period of the academic semester.
• Students who absent themselves from the university without officially withdrawing will remain on all class rosters until they officially withdraw from the university or until the end of the semester.
• Students who have withdrawn from the University must be readmitted before they can enroll. To begin the readmission process, contact The Solution Center.
• Students who are recipients of benefits from the Veterans Administration may not process withdrawals from the university which violate their declarations of classroom attendance. Recipients of veterans benefits are advised that they must receive course grades when their requests to withdraw from the university have been filed after deadlines of the Veterans Administration for processing changes of declared benefit status or when their dates of withdrawal will conflict with declarations of classroom attendance.
