PERIOD:
Resident and non-resident
students reducing their status to six (6) or fewer units
during the campus designated add/drop period, which ends
September 8, will automatically receive a refund of the
difference between full-time and part-time fees, less a
processing fee ($5.00). Non-resident students will also
receive an automatic refund of non-resident tuition for
classes dropped during this time, less a processing
($5.00). Students withdrawing from classes up through
October 28, 2009 will automatically receive a pro-rated
refund, less a processing fee ($5.00). |
| WITHDRAWAL PERIOD ("W"
drop):
Authorization to withdraw after the second week of
classes shall be granted for only the most serious and
compelling reasons, e.g. a documented physical, medical,
emotional, or other condition which has the effect of
limiting the student’s full participation in the class.
Poor academic performance, e.g. lack of effort or poor
attendance is not evidence of a serious reason for
withdrawal.
Signatures of the Instructor and Department Chair are
required for each course from which you withdraw. The
Associate Dean’s signature is also required for
withdrawal from classes in the College of Business or
Engineering and Computer Science.
(Required signatures are
noted on the “Request for Withdrawal” form) Submit the
approved Withdrawal Form to the Admissions and Records
Service Center in Langsdorf Hall (LH-114). |

| EMERGENCY MEDICAL
WITHDRAWAL:
Complete withdrawal may be allowed during the final
three weeks of instruction only in cases of documented
accident or serious illness where assignment of an
Incomplete is not practicable. The student or his/her
proxy must submit detailed medical documentation and
Petition for Emergency Medical Withdrawal to the
University Registrar (LH-101) for approval. The student
should first attempt to receive Incompletes (I grades)
with his/her instructors prior to applying for an
emergency medical withdrawal, in order to salvage credit
for the time and money invested in the courses up to
that point. In such cases, state regulations do
not permit a refund of fees to be considered. |

Discontinuing Classes: If a student
decides not to continue enrollment in a class, either before or
after instruction begins, it is the student's responsibility to
follow and complete the appropriate procedures for dropping the
class. |
