University Withdrawal
(Complete Schedule Withdrawal)
We understand that many unexpected events may cause you to withdraw from your courses at the University of Northern Colorado, but withdrawing has many important consequences, both academic and financial. To be sure you are making an informed decision, we urge you to read the Withdrawal FAQ's information before you decide to withdraw.
Please note: After the drop deadline, when withdrawing from a course(s), the student will be charged 100% tuition.
- Withdrawal process
The process to withdraw from the University must begin in the Office of the Registrar. You may notify us by mail, email, or phone. The date you notify the Office of the Registrar of your intent to withdraw will be used as the official withdrawal date from 甜心视频app.
Upon your notification, the Office of the Registrar will send you an Exit Survey to complete. This form will gather pertinent information and notify the proper departments of your plans (Housing, Dining Services and the Office of Financial Aid). Once completed, you will receive a confirmation email that you should retain for your records.
For more information on your official notification of intent to withdraw, please see the .
- Withdrawal deadlines
Withdrawals must be completed by the complete schedule withdrawal deadline of the semester.
For full semester courses, please see the Academic Semester Calendar.
For course(s) that do not meet for the entire semester, please see the for withdrawal deadlines.
- Academic appeals
Withdrawal deadlines are strictly enforced and exceptions will be made only when there were extenuating circumstances beyond your control that kept you from meeting those deadlines. For more information, please see Registration Appeals.
- Academic and Financial Impact
You will receive a grade of "W" on all courses not completed. The grade of "W" does not impact your GPA.
Withdrawing does not eliminate your financial obligation to the University. You are responsible for any charges owed to the University at the time you withdraw, based on the University's tuition and housing refund policies.
Please note: After the drop deadline, when withdrawing from a course(s), the student will be charged 100% tuition.

- Financial Aid
If you withdraw from school prior to completing 60% of a term, you may be required to repay a portion of the federal financial aid that you received for that term. Federal aid includes Federal Stafford Loan, Federal PLUS Loan, Federal Pell Grant, Iraq\Afghanistan Service Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Colorado Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership Program and Special Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership Program. You will also be placed on Ineligible for Financial Aid.
If you receive all F or UW grades, you will be classified as an 鈥淯nauthorized Withdrawal鈥 and Financial Aid will use the 50% point of the semester for the Return of Title IV Fund Calculation. We recommend that you try to complete one class, if possible, to avoid any financial hardship imposed by this regulation. If you are planning to leave school, it is important that you follow the formal withdrawal procedures with the Office of the Registrar and you understand your financial obligations.
