For 11-week courses, students may withdraw from courses beginning the third week of the semester through the ninth week of the semester. Requests to withdrawal from courses must be received by the Records and Registration office by 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time on the deadline date as noted on the academic calendar. Students should refer to the current academic calendar for the most accurate dates pertaining to withdrawing from courses. For courses that meet for less than 11 weeks, withdrawal dates will be published in Self-Service for Students on the Walsh College Student Portal each semester. Withdrawing from courses is a formal procedure that must be initiated by the student in writing, Walsh College email, or online by clicking the "Withdraw from My Classes" link on the Registration card in the Walsh College Student Portal. Walsh College does not allow faculty or staff to initiate a withdrawal for a student for any reason including nonattendance.
There is no tuition refund given for withdrawn courses and a grade of “W” (Withdrawal) appears on the student’s academic transcript. Students are responsible for all tuition and fees incurred. Students should carefully review their schedules after withdrawing from courses to ensure that processing was completed. Ultimately, a student’s schedule is the student’s responsibility.
Doctoral students may withdraw from any course only once during their academic career. A letter grade (A-C, or F) will be issued on a student’s academic transcript when the withdrawn course is repeated for the second time.
Withdrawal forms submitted online through the Walsh College Student Portal or Walsh College e-mail will be considered as received on the date submitted.
Students receiving federal financial aid are encouraged to contact the Financial Aid office before withdrawing from classes to determine if there are any financial implications as a result of the withdrawal. Additional details can be found in the Financial Aid and Scholarships section of the academic catalog.
An international student on an F-1 visa must consult with the designated school official/international advisor before withdrawing from a class that will result in less than full-time status.
Veteran students receiving education benefits must notify a school certifying official of any changes in enrollment.
