Withdrawals after the drop/revision deadline are approved by the university only under extenuating circumstances.  Documentation is required to support these requests. The documentation must provide evidence that the extenuating circumstances were unforeseeable and unavoidable and caused a serious disruption in academic functioning.  Submission of a withdrawal request after the drop/revision deadline is not guaranteed approval.  Students should have contingency plans in place in case a withdrawal request is delayed or denied.

Tuition and fee refunds for official withdrawals are prorated based on the Refund for Withdrawal Schedule.

How to Withdraw

Term withdrawal information including the withdrawal process and timeline is available for graduate students, undergraduate students, Agricultural Institute students and Non-Degree Studies students.

• Talk to a financial aid counselor if you are receiving funds awarded by the Office of Scholarships & Financial Aid to understand all policies regarding withdrawal from the University.
• Review the refund for withdrawal schedule to view the prorated rate for refunds.

The appeal can not be processed if you have received academic credit for the course.

Refunds of non-financial aid payments will be processed after the Census Date and will be deposited to the student’s bank account.  You must sign up for direct deposit on the Student Accounts tile of the MyPack Portal in order to receive a refund.  Refunds of excess financial aid will be refunded weekly.

Return of Federal Student Aid Funds

The Federal Higher Education Act requires the University to calculate a Return of Federal Student Aid Funds for students who withdraw (officially or unofficially) from all classes on or before the 60 percent attendance point in the semester. When a student officially withdraws, using a pro-rata schedule, the percentage of the semester attended is used to calculate the amount of the student’s earned versus unearned Federal student aid funds. When a student unofficially withdraws (abandons all classes without official notification) the midpoint of the term is used to calculate the percentage of the term completed and earned versus unearned funds. Unearned portions of Federal student aid funds are returned to the appropriate aid program(s) in the following order:

• Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan
• Federal Direct Subsidized Loan
• Federal Graduate PLUS Loan
• Federal Parent PLUS Loan
• Federal Pell Grant
• Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant
• Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant

Formulas for calculating the unearned portions of State and Institutional student aid funds may differ from the Federal refund calculation.

Tuition and fees refunds may offset reductions in Federal, State, and Institutional aid. However, any final balance created by the return of student financial aid funds will be due from the student to the University. Students withdrawing from classes are responsible for payment of any balance due after the required return of Federal student aid funds.

Students are encouraged to contact the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid to discuss the potential effects of withdrawing before taking the action.
