Important Withdrawal Information

Withdrawal BEFORE Midterm

A completed withdrawal prior to the published midterm date for the term of enrollment will be assigned a grade of W (withdrew).
A grade of W is not included in the calculation of the GPA, but may have implications for continued financial aid eligibility (Consult the Financial Aid Office).
A grade of W will be considered in the course repeat policy (refer to the Academic Catalog).
You may no longer attend class once you have officially withdrawn.

Withdrawal AFTER Midterm

A completed withdrawal after the published midterm date for the term of enrollment will be automatically a grade of WF (withdrew failing) unless a hardship exception is granted.
A grade of WF is included in the calculation of the GPA the same as a grade of F and may have implications for continued financial aid eligibility (Consult the Financial Aid Office).
A grade of WF will be considered in the course repeat policy (refer to the Academic Catalog).
You may no longer attend class once you have officially withdrawn.
You may not submit a withdrawal after the last scheduled day of classes.

Hardship Withdrawals

To be eligible for a hardship withdrawal, a student must meet ALL of the following criteria.

Experienced an emergency or other unanticipated hardship that makes continuation in the course or courses ill-advised.
Passing the course at the time the emergency or hardship arose.
Acted responsibly by notifying his or her instructors or other University official about the hardship situation as soon as possible after it arose.
Filed the hardship request with the appropriate dean as soon as it is feasible to do so. Hardship requests that are not filed in a timely manner are subject to denial even if the student was passing and the hardship was legitimate.
Withdraw from all classes.
Hardship withdrawals will only be considered prior to the last day of class. You may not file a hardship withdrawal once final exams have begun.
Submit the hardship request form prior to the end of classes for which the hardship withdrawal is being requested. Requests for a hardship withdrawal will not be considered once final exams have started for the semester.
Hardship withdrawals will only be considered for the current semester. You may not retroactively request a hardship withdrawal for a previous semester.
