Registrar: Withdrawal and Cancellations

Withdrawal and Cancellations

Canceling Registration -If you register for classes, but decide not to attend them, you may cancel your registration by notifying the registrar in writing prior to the first day of school. If classes have begun, refer to the University withdrawal procedure.

Drop/Add- You may change your registration (Drop/Add) at any time up until the end of the fifth day of the semester. Courses dropped during this period do not remain on your permanent record. To change your registration you will have to present a completed Drop/Add Form for all changes to your registration within the time limit specified in the calendar. You can obtain the form from the registrar’s or dean’s office. Return the completed Drop/Add Form to the registrar’s office or the main office of your professional school. If you register for a course, fail to attend, and fail to withdraw properly, you will be assigned a grade of “F” for the course. Conversely, if you attend a course without properly registering for it, you will not receive any academic credit for the course.

Course Withdrawal- Once the last day to change your registration has passes, you can withdraw from a course but it will remain on your permanent record. Should you choose not to continue in a course for which you have registered, you must officially withdraw from the course in order to receive a “W” (no penalty), by completing the proper form. You are required to secure both your instructor’s and your dean’s signature on the form. The withdrawal is effective from the date the completed form is received in the registrar’s office, and, in no instance, later than the eleventh week of the semester. If you fail to withdraw properly, a grade of “F” will be assigned to you for the course.

Withdrawal from the University- Should you decide to withdraw from the University completely during the semester, you are required to complete the University Withdrawal Form available from the registrar’s office and to secure the required authorized signatures. Failure to do so will result in grades of “F” being assigned to your courses. Subsequent to your withdrawal, if you return to the University you will need to contact the registrar and you may need to apply for re-admission.
