Term or Part of Term Withdrawal

Students may withdraw without any academic penalty until the ‘Last Day to Withdraw.’  Refer to the academic calendar for deadline dates for withdrawals. No withdrawals will be processed after the ‘Last Day to Withdraw.' Students must notify the Office of the Registrar by completing the Withdrawal from Term Form online. Students who withdraw during a semester may not petition for reinstatement during the semester in which the withdrawal occurred.

Any student who has registered, but does not wish to attend, must notify the Office of the Registrar by completing the Withdrawal from Term Form online by the "Last Day to Register" for the semester to receive a full refund of tuition charged. If the Withdrawal from Term Form is not available, mailed requests will be reviewed, and the postmark will be used to determine the withdrawal date. Failure to assure this notification may result in academic and financial penalty. Please contact the Office of Housing Operations & Residence Life for inquiries regarding residence hall refund policy. Students who are scheduled to receive financial aid must also notify the Financial Aid Office in writing (fax or mail) or JSU email by the last day to register for the semester to cancel their financial aid. Students who fail to notify the Financial Aid Office will be subject to financial penalty.
