Information about Withdrawing from the current term

You are strongly encouraged to contact your advisor if you are having problems with your health, a family emergency, inadequate finances, or other unusual circumstances so that we may have an opportunity to be of assistance. Your education is important, and we would like the opportunity to help keep you on track.

Withdrawing from the current term or reducing course load may affect the following:

  • Financial Aid - Withdrawing from the current term may affect your satisfactory academic progress and your ability to obtain financial aid in the future. Be sure to speak with a Financial Aid officer to learn how this will affect your financial aid status.
  • Athletic Eligibility – Contact the Athletic Department.
  • Personal Health Insurance – Contact your personal health insurance provider, or if you are on an assistantship, contact Benefit Services.
  • Graduate School Assistantships – Contact your department and the Graduate School.
  • Students who wish to withdraw from the current term must fill out an online Withdraw from the Current Term form. You will need to know your network I.D. and password. If you experience technical problems or if you have questions about the withdrawal process, contact the Graduate School at 509-335-1446 or send an email message to Jenny Saligumba-Graham. If you do not know your network I.D. and password, contact us so that we may discuss other arrangements for you to complete the form.
  • You may withdraw from the current term at any time during the current semester, through the last day of instruction.
  • Withdrawing from the current term during the first four weeks of the semester (or according to a prorated schedule for shorter academic terms) will result in a student’s transcript being marked “withdrew (date).” Individual courses will not be recorded.
  • Withdrawing from the current term after the fourth week through the last day of instruction (end of the 15th week) will result in the transcript being marked “withdrew (date),” and a grade of “W” will be recorded for each course.
  • Students on academic probation during the semester in which they withdraw from the current term must obtain permission from the Graduate School to re-enroll.
