Withdrawal from the University
A permanent withdrawal is recorded when a student initiates a withdrawal from his/her entire schedule and wishes to discontinue enrollment.
On-campus students who are withdrawing as a student from SWU should contact the Vice Provost for Student Success before initiating a withdrawal from the University.
SWU Online students must contact their ASC to request a permanent withdrawal before the midpoint for their current courses. If the student fails to submit a permanent withdrawal through his/her ASC before the midpoint of each of his/her current courses, a final grade of F will be recorded for the classes.
A permanent withdrawal during an academic award period may reduce or eliminate financial aid or VA assistance and/or eligibility and require that all or part of the assistance received be refunded to the lender. A student who wishes to withdraw should contact his/her faculty advisor or ASC and the Office of Financial Aid before initiating a withdrawal from the University.
Review by the Undergraduate Admissions Committee is required for re-admission of all students who are dismissed or suspended, leave on academic warning or probation, leave during the semester without officially withdrawing, or withdraw with a GPA less than 2.0.
Exceptions to the withdrawal policy must be approved by the student’s academic school chair.
