Course Withdrawal Form
Students can withdraw a course before the deadline published in the Academic Calendar for the semester after the refund
period has ended. However, courses that are shorter than the full semester will have different deadlines. Students in these
courses will need to check with their Academic Advisor or the Registrar’s Office for the withdrawal deadline.
Successful withdrawal from a class results in a “W” grade posted to the academic transcript and does not reverse the
student’s responsibility for tuition and fees associated with the withdrawn course(s). Failure to properly withdraw may
result in a grade of “F” begin posted for the course(s).
Students must consult with the One Stop Center and their Academic Advisor to discuss the implication of a course
withdrawal.
Course withdrawals are not effective until this form has been submitted to the Registrar’s Office for processing.
