Withdrawal of Registration

After a session begins, if you decide to drop (remove) all of your coursework (even if you are only registered for one course), you must process a Withdrawal of Registration. A withdrawal will remove all of your courses in the current session, including courses that have ended and may be graded. You will not be allowed to register for other courses in the session or any sub-session, even if the courses have not started yet. 

Summer session withdrawals include all of the sub-sessions. For example, if you withdraw from the 4-week summer sub-session, you cannot enroll in any other summer sub-session, even if it has not started yet. The Registrar Services can help if you have questions.

Once a withdrawal is processed, you are removed from any active waitlists you joined in the current session or sub-sessions. If you wish to remain enrolled but need to remove current courses and add others, then you should add a minimum of one course to your registration prior to dropping the other courses.

There are deadlines to submit a withdrawal. Refer to the Academic Calendar or Course Deadlines tool for specific dates.

How to Initiate the Withdrawal Process

1. Initiate Withdrawal Process in MyUI
   To withdraw from your courses, first log in to MyUI, then navigate to the Courses/Registration tab and select the current session from the menu in the upper-right corner. Click on "Withdraw Entire Registration," and when the warning pop-up appears, click on "more info" to review the details carefully. Make sure you understand the information provided, and if you have any questions, use the contact information listed. After reviewing, close the "more info" window and click "Continue" to proceed.
2. Contact Advisor
   Review the blue banner and contact your advisor if you have any questions. Then, scroll through the list of courses you will be withdrawing from and take note of any permissions required. After reviewing, you can choose to click Continue to proceed or Cancel to stop the process. 
   You may cancel at any time before completing the withdrawal and return to your registration screen.
3. Withdrawal Survey and Permissions
   If prompted with a withdrawal survey, complete it and click Submit. The next screen will display important information, including deadlines, tuition and fee responsibilities, and warnings—read this page carefully to ensure you understand each section. To proceed, click "I agree" to acknowledge your responsibility to obtain the required permissions, or click Cancel if you do not wish to continue. It is your responsibility to secure all necessary permissions, which may involve contacting various offices such as your advisor, Athletics, ISSS, and/or your collegiate office.

4. Pending Withdrawal
   At this stage, MyUI will indicate that you have a pending withdrawal along with the required authorizations. It is your responsibility to reach out to the appropriate authorizers to request the necessary approvals. If you need assistance locating contact details, click on Authorization Information.

   If you decide not to proceed, you may select Remove Pending Withdrawal at any time before finalizing the update in MyUI.

5. Complete Withdrawal
   Once you have obtained the required permissions, you will receive a MyUI message and an email letting you know you may now complete the withdrawal in MyUI. You must return to MyUI to complete the withdrawal. Your withdrawal is complete when you receive this message in the green banner at the top of the page: Your registration has been successfully withdrawn.
