A graduate student who wishes to withdraw from the term does so by
submitting a written notice to the registrar, or by completing a
withdrawal form in person at the registrar's office. The appropriate
SCILS program director also should be consulted. A student who leaves
the university without officially withdrawing in this manner will
receive a failing grade in each course. The date on which the registrar
receives the written notice governs the academic and financial
consequences of withdrawal. The privilege of official
withdrawal is not granted after the twelfth week of the term;
students who leave school during this period are still considered
officially enrolled and will receive final grades for the term.
Please note that notification to the instructor, adviser, or school
does not fulfill the student's obligation to communicate directly and
in writing with the registrar in all matters pertaining to changes in
registration and withdrawal.
