Drop vs. University Withdrawal

Withdrawals

Those finding it necessary to withdraw from the university are urged to consult with a faculty adviser or a professional academic advisors to work out the best plan possible and then contact the Registrar鈥檚 Office Enrollment Services Center to process a withdrawal. Those who leave the university without processing an official withdrawal will be reported as having failed the semester鈥檚 work. Grades transcripted are based on the withdrawal date. A student may withdraw from the university until 70% of instruction has been completed (contact the Registrar鈥檚 Office for date information). After that date, if extenuating circumstances (i.e., illness) have prevented class participation, a petition for withdrawal may be filed through the Office of Academic Affairs.

A student is considered withdrawn during a term if classes have begun and:

  1. The student has registered for at least one course and the student has initiated withdrawal from all on-campus and off-campus courses at all Regental universities in which the student was actively enrolled at the time of withdrawal, including courses in progress as well as those that have not yet begun, or;
  2. The Regental home university has completed withdrawal procedures for administrative reasons including, without limitation, nonpayment of tuition and fees or disciplinary sanctions.
  3. Students enrolled in two or more Regental universities pursuant to financial aid consortia will be eligible for refunds as set forth herein only if they withdraw, drop out or are expelled from all classes at all Regental universities for which they have enrolled.

Students who withdraw or are administratively withdrawn, suspended or expelled from the Regental system within the drop/add period receive a 100% refund of tuition and per credit hour fees. Students who withdraw or are administratively withdrawn, suspended or expelled from the Regental system after the date the first 10% of the term ends for the period of enrollment for which they are assessed may be entitled to a refund per SDBOR Policy 5.7.
