For various reasons, undergraduate students may need to stop attending their classes and leave the university for part, or all, of a semester. If this leave is going to be for more than a week or so, and depending upon the nature of the classes in which the student is enrolled, the student may need to consider processing an undergraduate total university withdrawal for the semester.
Doing so by using the procedures outlined below, rather than just leaving and receive failing grades, allows students to retain their quality-point average of the previous semester.
As with any procedure, students should carefully review all aspects and implications of such an action before initiating the withdrawal.
Undergraduate students who want to process a total university withdrawal through the individual course withdrawal period may withdraw from all of their classes via the URSA system.
Undergraduate students should contact the Advising and Testing Center (Pratt Hall, Room 216) if they want to process a total university withdrawal after the individual course withdrawal deadline, but before the total university withdrawal deadline.
All Department of Developmental Studies program participants must process a paper request for total university withdrawal (available in the Advising and Testing Center, Pratt Hall, Room 216) and receive signed permission from the Department of Developmental Studies.
