Course Withdrawal

Students who wish to withdraw from courses before the start of the fall, spring, or summer terms may do so by using the Student Service portion of the Banner Self-Service web portal or through an advisor with a Change of Schedule form. This form must be received by the Registrar's Office.

Failure to attend and/or pay tuition does not constitute official withdrawal.


Once the term has begun, students who wish to withdraw from a class or change classes are governed by the following policy:

  • Withdrawals through the 11th day of the fall/spring semesters and the fifth day of the summer term are not recorded on the student's permanent record. 
  • After the 11th day of the fall/spring semesters and fifth day of the summer terms, students are required to have a Change of Schedule form signed by their advisor to withdraw. Students who are on financial aid and/or receiving a scholarship must meet with a financial aid representative and obtain their signature on the form. 
  • Students withdrawing from a credit course before 5 p.m. on Friday of the 12th week (or the equivalent) of the fall or spring semester will receive a W on their permanent records. 
  • Summer term students withdrawing from a credit class before 5 p.m. on Friday of the fourth week of the five-week term in which they are enrolled will receive a W on their permanent record.
