Retroactive Withdrawal Procedure
A student who wishes to leave the University without completing the semester/term is expected to withdraw
during the current semester and/or term for which he or she is enrolled. Requests to withdraw after the
semester and/or term is over are considered only if the student was unable to withdraw. Examples of being
unable to withdraw include, but are not limited to hospitalization, military deployment, or being debilitated
by mental illness. In these cases, students must submit compelling documentation. If the documentation is
considered sufcient, the Vice President for Student Life or her designee will contact each faculty member on the
student’s schedule. Each faculty member will be asked for their approval of a retroactive withdrawal. Please
note, a faculty member is not given condential medical information, but is asked for approval of a retroactive
withdrawal for medical reasons. Retroactive withdrawals will not be considered past the next semester or term.
