A university withdrawal is sometimes referred to as a leave of absence, a complete course cancellation, a semester abandonment, etc. At Clarion University, students who are unable to attend or complete the semester for what ever reason be it transferring, an accident, illness, military obligation, employment or some other circumstance are required to notify the Office of the Registrar in writing of their intention to withdraw from all classes. By following the three steps below, you will insure your complete compliance with the university withdrawal policy.
The effective date of withdrawal will be the date the student notifies the Registrar's Office. This means the effective date of withdrawal will be the date we receive the written intention to withdraw in our office. Refunds will be processed according to the University's published refund schedule.
The deadline for withdrawing from the University is the last day of classes prior to the beginning of finals week. University withdrawals will not be processed retroactively.
Students who leave the University without officially withdrawing through the Registrar's Office will receive failing grades for all classes.
