Dropping or Withdrawing from all Courses
Students wanting to drop or withdraw from all the courses in which they are enrolled must, unless they qualify for an administrative withdrawal (see next section), personally drop or withdraw from their courses in writing. Students cannot drop or withdraw simply by informing an instructor of their plans or ceasing to attend class. The procedures for this are described in the earlier sections on “To Drop a Course” and “To Withdraw from a Course.”
Students who intend to leave after a term begins must complete an Immediate Withdrawal form. If a student acts early enough to drop all courses, no courses for that term will be recorded on the student’s transcript. If the student acts after the end of the drop period but before the end of the withdrawal period all courses will be recorded on the transcript with a grade of W. Students leaving school after the withdrawal date but before the end of the term will receive the grades for the courses in which they were enrolled as the instructor deems appropriate; grades of W will not be automatically awarded.
Students who do not intend to return for a term in the future must complete an End of Term Withdrawal form. This notifies the Records Office to drop the student from any course in which the student was registered. The End of Term Withdrawal form can be completed before the end of the term in which the student is enrolled.
Any student receiving financial aid that drops or withdraws from all courses during a semester will have obligations to the government and/or lenders even if they attended only a single day of the term. Contact the Financial Aid Office for more information. See also the Catalog section entitled “Student Charges and Payment Information.”
Students withdrawing from all courses must complete an Exit Interview in the Student Success Office before they leave.
Voluntary withdrawal does not guarantee permission to readmit to the University. All students who have withdrawn (either immediately or at the end of a term) from Greenville University for any reason and for any length of time must be readmitted by the Admissions Office in order to register for courses in future terms.
