Academic PoliciesLeaving the University
Complete Withdrawal from the University Policy revised 5/12/08: To differentiate dropping a few courses from completely withdrawing. A
complete
withdrawal from the University is defined as leaving the University by dropping
all classes after having paid registration fees.
This option only applies to the Fall and Spring
(regular) Semesters. During the regular semester, students
are allowed seven days to complete the withdrawal process after initiating the
procedure in the Dean of Students Office; however, withdrawals can not be
initiated after the last day of classes of any semester and must be completed
before the beginning of the final examination period.
If a student withdraws from all classes before
the end of the fourth week of the semester, all classes are deleted from the
student's permanent record for the term. If a student withdraws from the
University after the fourth week of classes and before the final exam period,
the faculty member for each course may assign a grade of “WP” (withdrawal while
passing) or “WF” (withdrawal while failing). Grades for a complete withdrawal
appear on the permanent record but are not included in the student’s grade
average.
Consult the Undergraduate Leave of Absence The Undergraduate Student Leave of Absence assists and encourages students to return and graduate after a one or two semester absence from campus. Students with this status need not apply for or pay readmission fees, and may register for classes during their priority registration period. Leave of Absence applications are available through Registration and Transcripts website (http://registrar.arizona.edu/RegistrarForms.asp). For assistance with the form, contact your college dean's office. See contact information below. Attention:
The deadline for a completed Leave of Absence application to be received (not mailed) in the Administration Building, Room 210, from the college dean’s office, is by 4:00 p.m. on the last regular business day before school starts. Final decisions regarding approval or disapproval of Leave of Absence requests will not be available until the posting of grades for the semester immediately preceding the term for which the leave is requested. Students should note that the timing of the final decision depends on the timing of the application. Therefore, students may not receive a decision on the request for Leave of Absence before the first day of class if their application is received just before the opening of classes. Incomplete applications will be sent back to the colleges. If the deadline is missed by this action, the student will not be eligible for the leave. To qualify, students must satisfy the following criteria:
After processing the application, the Students, when they do not return at the end of the approved leave, must apply for readmission and comply with readmission rules. While on Leave of Absence, the University:
See the Current Catalog for College Contacts for Leave of Absence. Dismissal from Courses or from the University Reprehensible conduct or failure to comply with university regulations may result in a student's dismissal from a course or from the University at any time. The Dean of Students Office is responsible for this procedure. Such action may be posted on the student's academic record. Students suspended from the University are denied student privileges during the period of suspension, and may not register for correspondence work except with permission of the dean of the college in which they have previously registered. They may not enroll in UA Outreach College courses, nor establish credit by examination during the period of suspension. Medical Withdrawal Medical withdrawal is initiated from the Student Health Service. Adequate medical documentation must be supplied by the student. Students who withdraw from the University for medical reasons and who are medically encumbered must have their readmission approved by the Student Health Service. Retroactive Withdrawal Under appropriate circumstances a student may petition for withdrawal after completion of classes for a term. If the student has experienced severe physical or psychological stress of such nature as to prevent satisfactory completion of course work in the semester or term in question, the student may petition for retroactive withdrawal for all courses taken that semester or term. This petition must be accompanied by adequate documentation and filed with the dean of the student's college. For further information about these policies contact your academic advisor or:
