CURRENT STUDENTS

Resigning from the University

Dropping all of your classes for the term constitutes an Institutional Withdrawal from the University. We recommend students meet with their academic advisor, Student Success Specialist and/or Dean’s Office before requesting an Institutional Withdrawal. Students can start the Institutional Withdrawal process for their Workday account by following the steps outlined in Canvas.  The I.D. card should be turned in to the Tech Express Office, located in the Student Center.  

When a student resigns before the close of General Registration, the permanent record will reflect only that he/she registered and resigned. When a student resigns during the first eight weeks of the quarter, the grade of W will be assigned to all courses attempted. A grade of F for each class will be recorded for any student who leaves without following proper resignation procedures. A student living in the dormitories or housing who leaves without proper resignation will forfeit the unused portion of any payment or deposit made to the University.

Students resigning during the first three calendar weeks of the quarter are entitled to a refund of registration fees based on the published quarterly resignation refund schedule. The current resignation refund schedule can be found within the Division of Finance, Comptroller’s Office Tuition and Fees, Fee refund policy.  Registration Fees are defined as including all tuition, university fees and self-assessments. No refund is given for student insurance. Students resigning after the third calendar week of the quarter are responsible for the full amount of registration fees for the quarter. Resignation refunds are calculated based on the official resignation date listed on the student’s official transcript.
