Withdrawal Information

Is a course withdrawal right for you?

Withdrawal Impacts

A withdrawal can impact a student financially, academically, and otherwise. Students who request to withdraw from a course before the semester’s withdrawal deadline will receive a grade of W, which does not have any impact on a student’s GPA. Withdrawal requests submitted after the withdrawal deadline will result in a WF (withdrawal fail), which will negatively impact a student’s GPA.

Before You Submit a Withdrawal Request

Before a student submits a withdrawal request, we strongly encourage they speak to Financial Aid about any financial impact of a withdrawal especially regarding satisfactory academic progress. Please also be aware that upon the processing of a complete semester withdrawal, a partial refund of tuition and fees will be processed.

A complete withdrawal is a withdrawal from all courses (no courses will remain on schedule). Individual course withdrawals will not generate a refund. Please contact the Business Office with questions about refunds.

Note: Every student's situation may be different and if you are unsure how the withdrawal will affect you, please contact your financial aid counselor.

Changing Your Schedule During Drop/Add

There is a short period at the beginning of each new semester during which students are permitted to add and/or drop course(s) without penalty. If the student is within a semester’s Add/Drop period and wants to make changes to their schedule, please use the Register for Classes link in the Nighthawk Course Scheduler to adjust your schedule. If the student has a hold and cannot make changes, please resolve the hold by the deadline.

Withdrawal After the Drop/Add Period

After the add/drop period, students may request a withdrawal from a course(s) via Banner under the Course Withdrawal Options. Students will be able to withdraw from one or more courses (at least one course will remain on schedule) or withdraw from all courses (no courses will remain on schedule).
