A withdrawal from the University is defined as leaving the University by dropping all classes after having paid registration fees.

Non-Attendance: If you are registered for classes and, prior to the beginning of the semester, you decide not to attend school, use UAccess Student to drop all your classes and avoid unexpected registration and tuition charges. This action is considered non-attendance.

• If this was to be your first semester at the University, you must complete a new admission application if you decide to attend at a later time.
• If this is not your first semester, you are strongly advised to contact your college Dean's office for information about the Leave of Absence Policy. Without an approved Leave of Absence, you must complete a readmission application upon deciding to return to the University.
  • See the Leave of Absence policy in the General Catalog.
  • See the Leave of Absence filing deadline on the Dates and Deadlines page.
• For readmission, contact the Undergraduate Admissions Office (520) 621-3237.
• You are strongly encouraged to notify Financial Aid, Residence Life, and Campus Health of your decision not to attend.

Complete Withdrawal: During a Fall or Spring semester, if you decide to drop all your classes and leave the University on or after the first day of classes, contact the Dean of Students Office, Old Main, Room 201, (520) 621-7057, to process a Complete Withdrawal. This maintains your eligibility to register for the next semester. You are allowed seven days to complete the withdrawal process after initiating the procedure in the Dean of Students Office; note, however, withdrawals can not be initiated after the last day of classes of any semester and must be completed before the beginning of the final examination period.

• Filing deadlines for Complete Withdrawal are on the Dates and Deadlines page.
• Refund information is available by contacting the the Bursar's Office at (520) 621-3232.
• A list of students who withdraw from the University during the semester and receive the automatic "WP" grade (Withdrawal/ Passing) will accompany the Official Grade Roster provided to instructors at the end of the semester. An instructor who feels that any of the students included in the listing should receive a "WF" (Withdrawal/Failing) instead of the "WP" will be provided with instructions for making this change.
