Discontinuance Until the Add/Drop Deadline

Classes may be dropped by dropping each individual class or by clicking “Drop All Classes” on the registration page in AIM until the add/drop deadline (first 10 days of a semester or 6 days of a term).

Discontinuance After the Add/Drop Deadline

From the add/drop deadline until the discontinuance deadline, you will need to turn in a discontinuance form to the Discontinuance Office. Forms can be obtained at the Discontinuance Office or at the following link: Downloadable Discontinuance Form. Students who leave the university under emergency conditions and subsequently do not return still have the responsibility to discontinue before the discontinuance deadline.

Tuition will be charged from the day after the add/drop deadline to the date of discontinuance at the percentage outlined by Tuition Refund Chart .

Warning: Discontinuance from 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 about future readmission eligibility and deferment options.

Additional Discontinuance Information

• Discontinuance on or after the first day of class will result in a withdraw date posted on your transcript. The withdraw date coincides with the date you discontinue.

• If discontinuing after the withdraw deadline (sixth week of the semester or third week of the term), you will need to obtain signatures of your individual instructors. (After this time students are responsible for grades earned in class.) Each instructor will indicate an official withdrawal (W) or an academic failing withdrawal (WE) grade.

• To request a discontinuance after the discontinuance deadline (twelfth week of a semester or fifth week of a block or term), you must submit a petition to the Petitions Office rather than contacting the Discontinuance Office.

• Those students registered through Evening School may only discontinue through the Office of Evening Classes (120 HCEB). Law School students must initiate their discontinuance through the office of the dean of the Law School (348-A JRCB).
