Complete Withdrawal

Students can withdrawal from all of their classes before the drop deadline on their Student Center. Refer to the Academic Calendar to find the drop deadlines.  It is highly encouraged that students reach out to Financial Aid and their academic advisor prior to dropping all courses as there can be academic and financial aid implications to dropping all your courses.
