Requests for withdrawal from a course(s) following the close of the term (retroactive withdrawal) will be considered only for: accident or illness (physical or mental), serious personal or family problems, or military transfer. Documentation is required. In addition, extenuating circumstances must be shown to have prevented withdrawal in a more timely fashion. Partial withdrawal of grades during a term is not permissible for any reason. All courses must be withdrawn and will be noted with a "W" on the official transcript. Lack of awareness of the withdrawal procedures is not an extenuating circumstance.

Employment-related reasons are not acceptable.

Requests by unclassified postbaccalaureate students, credentials candidates and graduate students must be made by filling out the "Waiver of University of Regulations" and turned in to the Office of Graduate Studies (AD-127), to be reviewed by the Dean.
