Administrative Withdrawal Request

Administrative Withdrawal: Definition and Policy

The Administrative Withdrawal is a process whereby ALL grades, high or low, for a given semester are changed to the grade of “W.” Per Policy and Procedure Statement 2.08 (Schedule Changes, Drops, and Withdrawals), students seeking to “drop a class or classes after the semester has ended, must provide (a) a written letter of appeal and (b) documentation of extremely extenuating circumstances to the appropriate dean(s).” (section 20).

We will review Administrative Withdrawal requests for following students: Exploratory, and Exploratory Professional majors. All other students should contact the Dean’s Office of their respective majors to appeal for an Administrative Withdrawal.

* Students seeking to drop a single course after the semester has ended should contact the Dean’s Office of the college through which the course is offered.
