Permanent Withdrawal from the University

A student may voluntarily withdraw from the University in accordance with withdrawal clearance procedures. Students who voluntarily withdraw are subject to the terms and conditions of their scholarship agreement or undertaking.

Any student voluntarily leaving the University before the close of the term must withdraw officially and complete the withdrawal clearance process.

A student initiates the withdrawal procedure by filing a completed “Permanent Withdrawal Request” form at the Registrar’s Office. A withdrawal is effective on the date the form is received by the Registrar’s Office.

No record of enrollment in courses will appear on the transcript of a student who withdraws from all degree courses during the official add/drop period. A student who withdraws from the university before the deadline for course withdrawal, but after the official add/drop period, will receive a grade of W for all courses in progress. Students withdrawing after the deadline and before the last day of classes will receive a WF in each course. The student has the right to appeal a grade of WF as per the provisions of STL 5450 Student Grievances and Appeals. In cases of a successful appeal, a grade of WP will be assigned.

Any student who leaves the university before the close of a semester without withdrawing officially will receive a failing grade of F in each course for which the student was registered.
