Term or University Withdrawal Form

This form is to be used by students to notify the University of their plan to withdraw from all classes for the term indicated and/or their plan to leave the University. Students withdrawing from the current term will be dropped from all courses, a grade of “W” will be assigned for each course if received after the Add/Drop deadline. Requests for term withdrawals must be received PRIOR to the term withdrawal deadline. Please consult the academic calendar for term withdrawal deadlines. Students who elect to withdraw from the university will then need to apply for readmission if they wish to re-enroll in courses. Use the Term/University withdrawal form found in myWCU to initiate either process.
