Withdrawal

The University recognizes that circumstances may arise that require a student to cease class attendance prior to the end of the semester. Listed below are procedures and important information on official withdrawal that students must follow to ensure they can return to ISU (or transfer to another college).



Official Withdrawal


"Official withdrawal" involves the student withdrawing from all classes for which he/she is 
registered as well as notifying appropriate administrative officials of his/her decision to 
leave the campus. If a student leaves without properly processing a withdrawal, the absences from 
class and from the campus will be justification for the grade of "F" to be assigned for the courses 
in which the student is enrolled.





Withdrawal Procedures


The student is not officially withdrawn until he/she has completed the withdrawal procedures.



For undergraduate students, official withdrawal from enrollment must be initiated in the Office of 
Registration and Records, Parsons Hall, Room 009, or by calling (812) 237-2020. Students seeking to 
withdraw are interviewed by a professional staff person and complete a  withdrawal authorization form. 
Questions concerning withdrawal from enrollment should be directed to the Office of Registration and 
Records.





Important Information


    

  • Refunds of fees.  For information on refund of fees, refer to the registration instructions published on-line each semester and summer session.    

    • 


  • Residence hall contracts.  Withdrawal from enrollment results in cancellation of the 
residence hall contract; however, students are responsible for contacting Residential Life  
if they are not planning to return to the University. Residence hall students should review the terms and 
conditions of their residence hall contract.
    • 


  • Refunds and repayments of assistance.  Students who withdraw (officially or unofficially) from all of their 
classes before 60 percent of a semester is completed may be required to repay some or all of their 
financial aid. For further information and assistance, visit the Office of Student Financial Aid. 

    • 


  • Grade determination.  Grade determination for students who officially withdraw from 
the University during a fall or spring semester is established as follows. From the first through the 
tenth week of classes, no grades are assigned for processed withdrawals. Beyond the tenth week, 
if the work is failing at the time of withdrawal, the grade of "WF" will be given; if the student is 
doing passing work, the grade of "WP" will be given. "WF" grades will be included in calculation of the 
grade point average. A grade of "WP" and "WF" may be assigned only when students have officially withdrawn 
from enrollment after the tenth week of the term.

    • 

  • Withdrawal following priority scheduling.  Students who participate in priority scheduling must 
initiate an official withdrawal in accordance with the procedures described above if they elect not to 
attend any classes during the session for which priority scheduling was accomplished. An official 
withdrawal must be completed for the semester for which the student has priority scheduled even 
if he/she has withdrawn from the previous semester.  The refund of fees will follow the schedule of 
refunds contained in the registration instructions, published on-line each semester and summer session.

    • 

  • Official withdrawal during a summer session.  All procedures concerning withdrawal are carefully 
explained in the registration instructions, 
published on-line each semester and summer session. See these publications for details regarding grading, refund provisions, and calendar limits.
