Withdrawal Services

While a student may have every intention of completing the semester, Student Assistance and Support Services (SASS) understands that sometimes obstacles arise which prevent this from happening. There are many resources on and off campus to assist students when these challenges occur; however, there may be a need for a student to step away from the university when they are unable to handle their coursework due to the extenuating circumstance(s). A withdrawal due to extenuating circumstance is a withdrawal granted to those students who have experienced an event outside of their control that has impacted their academic life.

Students can explore various options including a partial withdrawal with extenuating circumstances, which is one or more classes; or a full withdrawal with extenuating circumstances, which is the entire course load for the semester.

Students who wish to further explore these options should carefully review information outlined on our comprehensive Withdrawal Services website.
