falls on a weekend, it will be extended to the next business day. Petitions & supporting documentation must be received by the filing deadline
date.
Instructions:
1. Complete Part 1 of form.
2. If this is a petition to drop or withdraw based on medical reasons, have your licensed health care provider complete Part
2.
3. Submit completed form with required documentation by the stated deadline dates above
Following the guidelines will allow for the efficient processing of your petition. If you have any questions pertaining to
completing this form, please contact the Office of the Registrar, 266 University Pavilion, 810-762-3344, option 1.
Petition Deadline: Petitions & supporting documentation must be submitted to the University Appeal Committee by
the deadlines stated above.
Petitions to drop a course after the final drop deadline (https://www.umflint.edu/registrar/academic-calendars
) or
withdraw from a semester (drop all courses) after the end of the semester will only be considered for documented
medical reasons or the death of an immediate family member. Immediate family member is defined as spouse or other
qualified adult, son, daughter, parent, grandparent, grandchild, brother, sister (or the spouse of any of them), of the
student.
The University Appeal Committee will not review an incomplete petition. Please be sure to provide all information
requested on the form including:
Advisor signature
Medical documentation from a licensed health provider if applicable-use the attached form and submit with
your petition
Obituary, death certificate if applicable
Tuition/fee adjustments and financial aid adjustments will be considered when making decisions to drop courses or
withdraw from the semester.
Please be aware that interest charges may continue to be assessed until such a time as a determination is made
on your petition or the account is paid in full.
A petition being reviewed by the committee does not guarantee reinstatement of financial aid.
Students will be notified in writing via UM-Flint student email of the outcome of their petition.
Decisions of the University Appeal Committee are final.
Requests for late withdrawal/tuition appeal will be denied if filed for academic reasons, failure to drop/withdraw
correctly, nonattendance, or financial aid ineligibility. Undocumented circumstances cannot be approved.
Student Responsibility:
Be aware of the possible implications of withdrawals/tuition appeals on academic standing, financial aid,
graduate assistantships, housing, insurance, visa status, and other University services.
If your request is for the current semester, you should continue attending class after you submit your appeal,
until a decision has been made. If you discontinue attending class and your request is denied, you may risk
negative grade consequences.
You are responsible for all charges assessed on your student account while your appeal is pending. Filing a
petition does not relieve your current financial obligation to the University of Michigan-Flint. Late fees will
accrue on outstanding balances.
An approved late withdrawal petition will result in a ‘W’ grade and does not automatically result in removal of
any financial charges.
