Withdrawal Considerations

As you consider withdrawing from Southern Utah University, it is important to be aware that your withdrawal can affect your academic, personal, and financial records and responsibilities in a variety of ways. You must review these considerations before you may begin the withdrawal process.

Withdrawal from the Academic Term

  • Students are permitted to withdraw totally from the academic term any time prior to finals for the semester.
  • A student withdrawing after the 14th class day of the Fall/Spring semesters will have a "W" recorded for each course for which he/she registered. For Summer term, please contact the Registrar's Office for more information regarding withdrawal dates.

Southern Utah University does not allow a student to drop or withdraw from their final course without completing a separate withdrawal request for the semester. During the first nine weeks of the semester a student may withdraw from any or all of their courses. After the ninth week a student may not withdraw from an individual course, but must withdraw completely from all of their courses for the semester.

Drop - A drop will not show on the transcript and student will receive 100% reversal of tuition and fees

  • A student can drop themselves from individual courses until the 100% deadline
  • A student can drop ALL courses prior to the 100% deadline by filling out the Online Semester Withdrawal form

Withdrawal - A "W" will show on the transcript, it will not affect student's GPA, but student will not receive a refund

  • A student can withdraw themselves from individual courses until the last day to withdraw from an individual course deadline
  • A student can withdraw from ALL courses until the last day to withdraw from all courses deadline by filling out the Online Semester Withdrawal form

Emergency Withdrawal

SUU recognizes that circumstances beyond the control of the student may so significantly impact a student’s academic work that an Emergency Withdrawal from the term is necessary. Students who encounter these circumstances may be totally withdrawn and request a refund of a portion of their tuition and fees. To make such a request a student should take the following quiz to see if they qualify. If you qualify, it will prompt you to fill out the form.  

DO I QUALIFY FOR AN EMERGENCY WITHDRAWAL?

After you have filled out the form or if you have additional questions about an emergency withdrawal, please schedule an appointment with a member of our team.

Schedule an Emergency Withdrawal Appointment

 **Students have up to one year to submit an emergency withdrawal appeal (e.g. students submitting an appeal for Spring 2024 have until Spring 2025 to submit the application).

**Withdrawal from the semester may result in a financial obligation for the student to return a portion of any federal financial aid received. If you are considering withdrawing from the University, we strongly recommend that you first discuss the financial consequences of this action with the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships.
