Withdrawal Regulation

How to Withdraw

Students wishing to withdraw from the University should contact the Office of the Registrar. To avoid failure in all classes for the semester and in order to receive any financial adjustment, the withdrawing student must obtain the appropriate clearance from the associate dean of the Graduate School and from the assistant vice president for residence life.


Financial Credits

Tuition and fees are subject to a prorated adjustment/credit on the following terms:

Tuition

On the first day of classes, a full tuition credit will be made. Following the first day of classes, the tuition fee is subject to a prorated adjustment/credit if the student:

  1. withdraws voluntarily for any reason on or before the last day for course discontinuance at the University; or
  2. is suspended, dismissed, or involuntarily withdrawn by the University, for any reason, on or before the last day for course discontinuance at the University; or
  3. is later obliged to withdraw because of protracted illness; or
  4. withdraws involuntarily at any time because of military service, provided no credit is received for the classes from which the student is forced to withdraw.

Upon return of the student forced to withdraw for military service, the University will allow him or her credit for that portion of tuition charged for the semester in which he or she withdrew and did not receive academic credit.

Room and Board

Room and board charges will be adjusted/credited on a prorated basis throughout the entire semester.

Financial Assistance

Students receiving University and/or Federal Title IV financial assistance who withdraw from the University within the first sixty percent (60%) of the semester cannot benefit or use funds beyond their withdrawal date.

Such funds shall be returned promptly to the entity that issued them, on a pro rata basis, and will be reflected on the student’s University account.

Disclaimer

This withdrawal regulation may change subject to federal regulations. Examples of the application of the tuition credit calculation are available from the Office of Student Accounts upon request.
