A graduate student may withdraw from the University after the specified drop date only when circumstances beyond the student’s control make it impossible to complete the semester. Late withdrawals must be approved by the Director of Graduate Studies in the student's college and submitted to the Graduate School.

Students enrolled on a non-degree basis must obtain the approval of the Vice Provost for Graduate Programs or approved designee. VA benefits and Title IV funds for enrollment fees are subject to cancellation and immediate repayment if the recipient stops attending, whether or not he/she has withdrawn.
