Late Withdrawal

When the published last date to drop/withdraw has passed, a late withdrawal may be considered for a student who experiences non-academic emergencies which interfere or prevent the completion of their coursework.  Typically, circumstances (non-academic emergencies) that warrant an approval tend to fall into one of three categories:  medical, personal or financial.  Late withdrawals are not granted unless there is a compelling reason for such requests.  Students requesting a late withdrawal will need to clearly explain in writing how and/or why their non-academic emergency impacted their studies and why they could not drop before the published late date to drop/withdraw.
