Withdrawing from Term

A student may discontinue all of their courses (for the term) by withdrawing from the term.

A student need not withdraw from the term if they have not registered for the term. If the student withdraws from the term, they need not reapply for admission unless they are a guest student, a new admit who withdraws on or before the last day of drop/add period or a student who does not return within one year.

Withdrawals may be processed via Web or Walk-in registration during the first two weeks of the term. After this date, the process is initiated at the college in which the student is enrolled or One Stop Student Services (UC). Forms for the purpose of withdrawing from the term may be picked up from the college in which the student is enrolled, One Stop Student Services, or from the "Forms" section. The completed form must be presented to One Stop Student Services for processing. The effective date of the withdrawal is the date the withdrawal is received in One Stop Student Services. Any monies paid in excess of the amount assessed will be refunded according to the procedure listed under "Refund Policy" within the "Payment Policy" section.

Permission to withdraw under circumstances other than stated above will require the approval of the student's academic unit.
