Academic PoliciesLeaving the University
Complete Withdrawal from the University A
complete withdrawal from the University is defined as leaving the University by dropping
all classes after having paid registration fees.
This option only applies to the Fall and Spring
(regular) Semesters. During the regular semester, students
are allowed seven days to complete the withdrawal process after initiating the
procedure in the Dean of Students Office; however, withdrawals can not be
initiated after the last day of classes of any semester and must be completed
before the beginning of the final examination period.
If a student withdraws from all classes before
the end of the fourth week of the semester, all classes are deleted from the
student's permanent record for the term. If a student withdraws from the
University after the fourth week of classes and before the final exam period,
the faculty member for each course may assign a grade of “WP” (withdrawal while
passing) or “WF” (withdrawal while failing). Grades for a complete withdrawal
appear on the permanent record but are not included in the student’s grade
average.

Medical Withdrawal Revised 5/4/09: change to the role of Campus Health in the medical withdrawal process Withdrawals filed before the first deadline at the end of the fourth week of classes (Fall and Spring Semesters), result in cancellation of registration in all courses.

Because of the nature of these programs, students may not be entitled to any refunds of tuition or fees, irrespective of the reason for the withdrawal. It is the student’s responsibility to know the terms and conditions of such accelerated or special programs in which they are enrolled. Note: Students who withdraw from the University for medical reasons and who are medically encumbered must have their readmission approved by the Campus Health Service. Retroactive Withdrawal Under appropriate circumstances a student may petition for withdrawal after completion of classes for a term. If the student has experienced severe physical or psychological stress of such nature as to prevent satisfactory completion of course work in the semester or term in question, the student may petition for retroactive withdrawal for all courses taken that semester or term. This petition must be accompanied by adequate documentation and filed with the dean of the student's college. Dismissal from Courses or from the University Reprehensible conduct or failure to comply with university regulations may result in a student's dismissal from a course or from the University at any time. The Dean of Students Office is responsible for this procedure. Such action may be posted on the student's academic record. Students suspended from the University are denied student privileges during the period of suspension, and may not register for correspondence work except with permission of the dean of the college in which they have previously registered. They may not enroll in UA Outreach College courses, nor establish credit by examination during the period of suspension. For further information about these policies contact your
