Withdrawing

If you have registered for classes and then decide not to attend, it is your responsibility to withdraw from the term.  

NON-ATTENDANCE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE WITHDRAWAL.
  
If you have applied for campus housing and/or financial aid, you have other responsibilities associated with withdrawal.  Those offices must be contacted directly:

Withdrawal before a term has started

Use WebOPUS to withdraw from a Fall, Winter, or Summer term before the term has started.  The process must be completed by midnight before classes begin.  For example, if a term starts on Monday, August 30, a pre-term withdrawal must be completed by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, August 29.  Tuition charges and student fees will be reversed by the Controller’s Office upon completion of a pre-term withdrawal.
