Administrative Withdrawal from University Coursework
Students who must withdraw from the university after the end of the last date to resign courses should consult with their academic advisors for appropriate procedures, justification, and documentation to request an administrative withdrawal (grade of "W").
- Administrative withdrawals are approved only in circumstances with sufficient documentation of impacted academic performance because of medical illness, death or critical illness of an immediate family member, or military service.
- As per Faculty Senate-approved policy, administrative withdrawal petitions based upon extraordinary circumstances are only considered for all courses in a semester (not selected courses) and are only approvable for courses no older than one semester preceding the date of the petition.
- Petitions for withdrawal from a second successive semester based on the same circumstances will not be approved.
