Never Attended – Late Withdrawal
This petition is used for withdrawal only when a student truly never attended, or, in the case of a fully
online, no set time course, they never participated, completed, or submitted any work. (Student Resource Guide)

Late Withdrawal and Other (Exceptional Circumstances)
This petition/process is only used after the withdrawal deadline for the semester is passed. Late
withdrawals are limited only to those instances involving exceptional, documented circumstances
beyond the student's control that prevented the student from withdrawing from courses in a timely
manner. (Student Resource Guide)
