Complete Withdrawal from the University


Semester Withdrawal

For most undergraduate students, a semester withdrawal is initiated at a website for change of enrollment: usu.edu/loa. Undergraduate international students must file a semester withdrawal offline, and should go to International Education in the Office of Global Engagement, Military Science 115. Matriculated graduate students who wish to completely withdraw must present their case to the School of Graduate Studies Office, Main 164. The date of the official withdrawal is the date the withdrawal form or letter is received. 

Early Semester Withdrawal

Students who withdraw from a semester before 20 percent of the semester is completed (check the  Registration Calendar for exact dates), do not need to reapply for admission when they return, as long as they re-enroll within a year. Students’ transcripts will not show any indication of participation during the semester and they may be eligible for a tuition refund.

Mid-Semester Withdrawal

Students who withdraw from a semester between 20 percent and 60 percent of the semester is completed (check the  Registration Calendar for exact dates), do not need to reapply for admission when they return, as long as they re-enroll within a year. A W grade will permanently be affixed to the student’s record for each of the course withdrawals. These students do not qualify for a tuition refund.

Late Semester Withdrawal

Students who withdraw from a semester after 60 percent of the semester is completed (check the  Registration Calendar for exact dates), will have W grades permanently affixed to their record for each of the course withdrawals.  These students also do not qualify for a tuition refund. These students will be processed as follows:

  • Students on academic probation or students who have previously been suspended, will be suspened from the university.  Not counting the semester for which students are withdrawing, students who have been suspended once may apply for readmission after an additional one-semester layout at the USU Eastern or a two-semester layout at USU. Students who have been suspended two times may apply for readmission to the university following a layout of one full calendar year.
  • All other students who have a late semester withdrawal do not need to reapply for admission when they return, as long as they reenroll within a year.
  • During their academic career, students may have a late semester withdrawal a maximum of two times.

Once final examinations have begun for the semester, students may no longer apply for a semester withdrawal from the University. Students will receive the grades earned in the courses and those grades will be included on the transcript.
