Withdrawal Requests after the Deadline

Graduate students should contact the Graduate School regarding this process.

Request for either course withdrawals or university withdrawals after the published deadline are ONLY considered for the following reasons:

1. Medical
2. Hardship

Circumstances that are NOT considered include:

1. Avoidance of a low grade
2. Lack of evaluation by instructors prior to the withdrawal deadline
3. Willingness of the instructor to approve the request

You should not assume that your request will be approved. If you want to request consideration for a LATE withdrawal based on either of these reasons, please read the following.

Questions regarding a withdrawal request after the deadline should be directed
to the Director of Advising and Student Services, Graham 327.

1. If permission for a late withdrawal is granted, the instructor(s) of the
   course(s) must decide if it will be a withdrawal passing (W) or a
   withdrawal failing (F). A withdrawal marked failing (F) will be figured
   into your GPA as an F.
   
   
2. You must continue to attend the course(s) until the withdrawal process
   has been finalized. It is your responsibility to confirm that the withdrawal process has been completed.
   
   
3. Students who cease to attend courses in which they are enrolled without officially withdrawing will receive Fs for those courses.
   
   
4. A withdrawal is NOT approved until signed by the Director of Advising
   and Student Services.
   
   
5. A late course withdrawal will NOT be processed under any circumstances after the final exam for the course has been given.
