Withdrawals & Cancellations
For important information on deadlines for credit-bearing programs please visit the UW Flexible Option Academic Calendar. We encourage you to make note of these important dates to avoid any unnecessary fees or interruptions. Please be aware that changes in your enrollment can also impact your financial aid eligibility.
Withdrawal Procedures
Prior to taking any enrollment action, you should discuss your options and the impacts of withdrawal with your Academic Success Coach. Your ASC will then advise you on the steps to officially withdraw.
If you stop participating in all courses, do not officially withdraw, and fail to earn a passing grade in at least one course in a given subscription period, you may be considered an unofficial withdrawal. You may also be considered an unofficial withdrawal if you do not immediately resubscribe from one subscription period to the next.
Withdrawal Fee
If you withdraw from the program between the first day and 11:59PM CST on the eighth day of the subscription period, you are assessed a $50 withdrawal fee. Those who are administratively withdrawn from the program, for any reason, are also charged the $50 withdrawal fee.
