Withdrawal Request

Complete Withdrawal Information Sheet

Please read this important information concerning Complete Withdrawal Requests

If you are unable to complete the semester, you may choose to withdraw from the University. If you completely withdraw from classes after the semester begins, a grade of "W" will appear on your transcript for all withdrawn classes. In cases where a final grade has already been assigned to a class, the final grade assignment will remain.

Because there may be serious academic and financial consequences to processing a complete withdrawal, you should view complete withdrawal as a final resort and are encouraged to consult with your academic advisor and explore alternatives, such as:

• reducing your credit load (course withdrawal)
• discussing the possibility of an Incomplete grade with your instructor
• requesting a Medical/Compassionate Withdrawal if there are medical or significant personal reasons
• seeking tutoring and/or counseling

Possible consequences resulting from your complete withdrawal:

• Grades: You will receive "W" grades for the classes in which you are currently enrolled if the semester has begun. In cases where a final grade has already been assigned to a class, the final grade assignment will remain.
• Health Insurance: You should contact your health insurance company to determine whether or not withdrawing from the University affects your coverage.
• Financial Aid: The effect of a complete withdrawal on your financial aid depends on when the withdrawal is initiated and the type of financial aid you receive. Financial aid recipients who completely withdraw from the university may be responsible for repayment of funds. Contact the Student Financial Assistance office at (480) 965-3355 for more information.
• Tuition and Refunds: Please review the Institutional Refund Policy to identify tuition adjustments which may result from your withdrawal.
• Veterans Services: Contact the appropriate Veterans' Office to discuss information regarding your veteran's educational benefits and/or military activation.
