Something different

This Withdrawal Request process was created in response to COVID-19 to provide students and advisors with additional flexibility.

Step 1

Contact your advisor to discuss your withdrawal and to retrieve your Advising PIN. The purpose of the Advising PIN is to ensure the opportunity for a conversation about changes to your registration. Please note: this PIN is different from the PIN used for registration.
