  • Unforeseen circumstances may lead you to consider withdrawing from the semester. Before making a final decision, it’s important to meet with an Academic Advisor, an advisor in Financial Aid or a member of the Dean of Students - Advocacy, Outreach & Support to discuss your circumstances, how this decision may affect your progress and financial aid eligibility, and to strategize about the best course of action. ​

    Financial Aid questions and implications to consider:

    • Will withdrawing affect your financial aid?
    • Will withdrawing affect your completion rate or Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)?
    • Your last date of attendance (LDA) will determine if Federal, State, and institutional funding is reduced or cancelled. Check the Add/Drop Calendar and the Refund Calendar.
    • If an unpaid balance remains, a hold may be placed on your student record, preventing registration for future courses.
    • We strongly encourage you to meet with a financial aid advisor.

    Note: The terms "withdrawal" and "leave of absence" are often used interchangeably. Both allow for re-enrollment.
