Students may voluntarily withdraw from a graduate course or a graduate program at any time. In such cases, the student must provide written request for the withdrawal by use of the appropriate withdrawal forms. Withdrawal from a course must occur prior to final examination week to avoid penalty. Voluntary withdrawal from a graduate program during an appeal of dismissal automatically terminates the appeals process.
A graduate student may be dismissed from a graduate program by a department/college according to the policy described in the Appeal of Dismissal section.
