ACADEMIC ADVISING
Withdrawal from the University
At any time, a student may officially withdraw from the University by completing the appropriate form from the Registrar’s Office, whereupon a “withdrawn from the University” will appear on his or her transcript for that semester. Financial aid recipients must also notify the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid. Students receiving veterans benefits must notify the Registrar.

As with dropping an individual course, failure of a student to withdraw officially can result in the awarding of “F” grades.

Students are strongly encouraged to consult with their advisors prior to any type of withdrawal. A student who has withdrawn from the University must contact the Admissions Office regarding readmission.
 
Medical Withdrawals
Students wishing to secure a medical withdrawal must submit a hard copy doctor’s note on official letterhead indicating the student’s diagnosis, how long he/she has been under their care, and the doctor’s recommendation. The student must also submit his/her personal request to withdraw for medical reasons. This may be done using an Add/Drop from or personal letter. All documentation should be submitted to the Registrar no later than the last day of classes for the applicable term.

Refunds will be considered on an individual basis for those students who stopped attending classes before the last day to withdraw with a “W” each semester. Medical withdrawals may be made after this date with a grade of “W”, but this is the last date that any tuition refund will be given for a medical withdrawal.

The Office of Scholarship and Financial Aid will follow federal guidelines in determining refund procedures for all Federal Programs. Institutional and State Aid that was applied to any tuition charge will be reviewed on a case by case basis and will be subject to reduction and/or cancellation prior to any tuition refund being issued.

All medical withdrawals must be given for all courses in which the student is enrolled. No partial withdrawal will be allowed. Students who have secured a medical withdrawal may not return to the University without their doctor’s approval.
