If a student is unable to successfully complete a semester due to a physical, mental, emotional, or psychological condition, he or she may request a hardship withdrawal through the Dean of Students. Students may request a hardship withdrawal when the emergency or situation they are experiencing makes it impossible to continue in the course(s) for which he/she is registered.
Before requesting a withdrawal, students need to understand the following:
To request a withdrawal based on a medical condition or other hardship, please complete the hardship withdrawal request (that includes uploading supporting documentation).
Deans of Students review and make decisions regarding requests submitted by students who are currently enrolled or were enrolled in the immediate past semester. Students who are submitting requests related to terms beyond the current or immediate past semester are reviewed by those in academic administration. Students may be asked for an interview as part of the process. All decisions are communicated to students via UNG email accounts and appropriate administrative offices are notified.
Note: If it is determined by the Dean of Students that a student is not capable of completing this process, the student’s parent, guardian, or legal next of kin may act on behalf of the student.
