To withdraw from the university, day students who have
registered for classes and paid tuition must officially discontinue
to initiate a tuition refund. (Refer to the Tuition and Fees section of
this catalog for refund information.)
The discontinuance process includes the following:
- Before the add deadline students may use the AIM registration
system through Route Y.
- After the add deadline consult with the Discontinuance Office
representative and complete discontinuance forms available
from the Discontinuance Office or
http://discontinuance.byu.edu/.
- If discontinuing during or after the sixth week of the semester
(or third week of the term or block), obtain signatures of
individual class instructors (student is now responsible for
grades earned in class). The instructor will indicate an official
withdrawal (W) or an academically failing (WE) withdrawal
grade.
- Submit discontinuance forms and be signed out by a
Discontinuance Office representative.
Discontinuance from a fall or winter semester or from the term
to which you are newly admitted could forfeit your eligibility to
attend future semesters without reapplying through the
Admissions Office. All undergraduate students who discontinue
during a major semester (fall or winter) or during the term for
which they were accepted, should contact the discontinuance
counselor at (801) 422-7705 about future readmission eligibility
and deferment options.
To withdraw after the twelfth week of the semester (or fifth
week of a block or term), students must file a petition with the
Registration/Records petition secretary (B-150 ASB) rather than
contacting the Discontinuance Office.
Those students registered as Evening Classes students only
must discontinue through the Office of Evening Classes, 120
HCEB. Law School students must initiate their discontinuance
through the office of the Law School dean, 348-A JRCB.
Students who leave the university under emergency
conditions and subsequently do not return still have the
responsibility to discontinue before the discontinuance deadline.
Official termination can be completed by contacting the
Discontinuance Office at the earliest possible time.
Student Academic Record Appeals Process
The Student Academic Record Appeals Process has been
established for students who encounter situations involving
non-academic extenuating circumstances or emergencies potentially
affecting their educational records that fall outside the realm of
normal university policy and procedure. The petition process
must be initiated within one year from the semester or term in
question. It is the student's responsibility to obtain the necessary
supporting information from the instructor, physician, employer,
etc., to accompany the request. Petition forms may be obtained in
the Registrar's Office, B-150 ASB.
