Withdrawal Procedure - Handbook

Ceasing to attend classes without withdrawing will result in a grade of "F"; therefore it is imperative that you speak with your professor(s) immediately if you encounter personal or academic difficulties which disrupt class attendance. You should also consult with the coordinator of University Withdrawals for support and guidance as early as possible. Grades, financial aid, and housing can potentially be affected by simply dropping out without officially withdrawing. Early intervention and action reduces complications for all concerned.

Total withdrawal from the University means to drop all courses for that semester. Please refer to the registration guide for all deadlines associated with withdrawing. A student who preregisters for classes and decides not to attend MTSU for the term should access PipelineMT/RaiderNet to withdraw from the classes selected during the preregistration. Withdrawals should be processed prior to the first day of class to receive a 100% refund. Once classes begin, course withdrawals may be processed on PipelineMT/RaiderNet and are subject to the refund deadlines listed in the registration guide.

If extreme extenuating circumstances necessitate a student's withdrawal from the University after the seventh week of the term, an exception may be made. The coordinator for Withdrawals should be contacted initially. A grade of "W" may be recorded if extenuating circumstances are identified and corroborated by a University physician and/or counselors in Counseling Services and there is concurrence by the faculty.
