Withdrawal from the University

Students who withdraw from the University before the expiration of the semester or session for which they are enrolled must complete the official Withdrawal Form in the Registrar’s Office and secure the approval of the Business Office. University housing students must also secure the approval of the Dean of Students before withdrawing from the University.

A student whose withdrawal is necessitated by illness or injury may qualify for a medical withdrawal.  Additional information about medical withdrawals may be obtained by contacting disabilityservices@umhb.edu.  Medical withdrawals must be completed within three weeks of the last day a student attends class.

A student who withdraws is immediately eligible to apply for readmission except that:

  • A student on academic suspension due to receipt of WQs for withdrawn courses cannot be readmitted until one Spring or Fall semester has passed; and
  • A student may be disqualified for readmission for disciplinary reasons.

Students experiencing a disruption in enrollment lasting longer than one academic year must reorganize their respective degree plan to conform with the current catalog.

Failing grades in all courses will be posted for any students who stop attending classes but do not officially withdraw. Students are encouraged to consider carefully both the program and financial implications of an official withdrawal or receipt of failing grades for discontinuing attendance without an official withdrawal.
