On-campus and Online Students

Students who wish to withdraw from all courses, prior to the term course withdrawal deadline, should contact the University Advising Office for help with the withdrawal process.    After the withdrawal deadline has passed, students will remain enrolled and receive grades at the end of the term.

Students who stop attending, but do not officially withdraw from a course by completing a withdrawal form, will receive a failing grade for that course.

Students who wish to appeal a grade may follow the grade appeal policy.

SOAR™ Students

Students who register for and undertake coursework within their first class on the SOAR platform have 10 calendar days from the date of registration (which will occur at the time of your first Academic Event**) to withdraw from the program without academic consequences.  The withdrawal will also eliminate any tuition fees accrued to date for the class and program.  Students must contact the Registrar’s Office to formally withdraw.  The Drop Policy is only in effect for the first course on the SOAR platform during a student’s continuous matriculation.  The university assumes that students on the SOAR platform are continuously enrolled and engaged in courses due to the self-paced nature of the SOAR platform programs.  Gaps in active course participation, after the 10 day drop period, are expected and common, and do not constitute a formal withdrawal from the course or program.      

**Students must have an Academic Event at least once every 60 days to meet the University’s SOAR attendance policy.  An “Academic Event” is a graded activity, such as a quiz or a reflection assignment, within a course. Failure to produce an academic event within a 60-day period may result in administrative withdrawal from a course and/or suspension from the program.
