Considering Withdrawal from College
Even when giving their best effort, students may experience unexpected disruptions that affect their progress and lead them to consider withdrawing from college.
Withdrawing can be a difficult decision. Acting too quickly may result in missed requirements, misunderstandings about the impact of withdrawal, or a lack of awareness of alternative options. Taking time to approach this decision carefully can help prevent unnecessary complications.
When considering withdrawal, it is important to speak with individuals who can provide guidance and support.
Speak with an Instructor or Department Head
Students are strongly encouraged to speak directly with their instructor or department head before withdrawing from any class. They can explain how withdrawal may affect a student’s standing in the program or eligibility to return.
Consider a Leave of Absence
In some cases, a Leave of Absence may be a better option than withdrawing. A Leave of Absence allows for a temporary interruption of enrollment with the expectation that the student will return.

Contact the Registrar
Completing required paperwork and resolving any outstanding account balances are essential steps in the withdrawal process. The registrar’s office in Student Services can assist with payments, records, and transcript accuracy.
Students who withdraw from a course or program before completion may be eligible for a refund of tuition and fees. Additional information is available in Policy 606: Withdrawals, Refunds, and Returns – Tuition, Fees, and Other Charges (policies page).

Contact the Financial Aid Office
