Course Withdrawal Form

Course Withdrawal Deadline

Please note that course withdrawal for Summer Session II has now passed.

Course Withdrawal Policy

Before completing the Course Withdrawal Form, please read all content.

After the add/drop period has ended, students may withdraw from a course through the end of the course withdrawal period (see academic calendar) for deadlines.

Course withdrawals are not eligible for a refund of tuition and fees. After a course withdrawal is processed, a “W” will be entered for the course on the student’s transcript. Note: W’s do not affect the GPA. No credits will be EARNED, but will count towards ATTEMPTED credits.

Before You Withdraw From a Course 

Students are strongly urged to talk to their advisor and the course instructor before withdrawing from a course.

Students in the following groups are strongly advised to contact the appropriate office prior to withdrawing from a course to ensure there are no unintended consequences:

• Financial Aid Recipients: Office of Financial Aid, Meet Your Financial Aid Counselor
• Veterans Benefits Recipients: Military Resource Center
• Student Athletes: Contact your Athletic Compliance Officer
• International Students (F & J Student Visas): Michael Cunningham
• HOPE Scholarship Eligibility: Email HOPE@ric.edu

If you are dropping all courses, this is not the correct form to submit.

Dropping All Courses or Withdrawing from RIC

• Withdrawal from the College Form (not planning to return)
• Withdraw from Classes Form (leave of absence)

If you are withdrawing for extenuating non-academic reasons (ex. medical, pregnancy, disability accommodations, and/or call to active duty), contact the Dean of Students office.
