Withdraw from Course Policy

• An individual is permitted to withdraw from a course without penalty for any reason by the deadline date listed in the academic calendar. After that date, withdraw must be for a non-academic reason.
• The request must be in writing to the Dean of Graduate Studies. The individual must also provide original documentation regarding the non-academic reasons for the withdraw. The Dean will request information regarding the situation from the department. The Dean has the sole authority to grant withdrawals without academic penalty. Requests for withdrawals after the published deadline will rarely be approved.
• Once the information is reviewed, a decision will be made.
• If a student is given permission to withdraw from a course, the student is still responsible for the tuition costs as per the university's refund policy listed in the Graduate Catalog.
