Individual & Total Withdrawals

Add/drop week typically ends the Friday after classes begin in a normal semester

Reference the Academic Calendar for more details regarding semester sessions

AFter add/drop week, any classes removed from the students schedule will be considered a withdrawal

Withdrawals do not impact GPA calculations, but do impact a students completion ratio and attempted/passed hours

Students can withdraw from their Registration and Drop/Add screen in MyLander

Advisors do not withdraw students from their courses

Before withdrawing from a class, a student should communicate with:

their professor to determine if there is any chance of them passing the class

their Financial Aid counselor to determine if withdrawing will impact their current aid, payments, or future aid

the Housing department to determine if withdrawing will impact their housing status if living on campus - students must be considered full-time to live on campus

their primary advisor to determine how withdrawing will impact their plan to graduation and future semesters

Students wishing to withdraw from every class they are enrolled in, or from the university entirely must fill out the Temporary Leave/Withdrawal paperwork.

Students wishing to fill out this paperwork should first reach out to the administrative assistant in the Student Success Center (Tammie Mallory) to request a meeting with one of the authorized signers.

From there, the student is responsible for obtaining the other departmental signatures required.
