Administrative Withdrawal from the University
A student may be administratively withdrawn from the University ex post facto for prior enrollment sessions if circumstances warrant such action. Either a student, instructor, or administrator can request such a withdrawal via Application for Late Withdrawal Appeal Form. The offices of Financial Aid, Student Affairs, Business Affairs, Academic Records, and Provost must approve the request.
Because of potential difficulties in contacting instructors who may no longer be employed by the University with respect of verification of the student’s attendance record in any particular course, appeals must be received by the end of the following semester (i.e., appeal for spring 2024 must be received by the last day of the fall 2024 semester). Exceptions to the one-semester limitation may be granted due to documented extenuating personal circumstances. Administrative withdrawal from the University does not replace the Academic Forgiveness policy as found in the Dickinson State University catalog.
If a student is administratively withdrawn during a session of current enrollment, either an instructor or administrator can request such a withdrawal via the Cancellation/Withdrawal Form. The instructor(s) of record for the student’s courses and the student’s advisor will be notified of the withdrawal. An administrative withdrawal from the university will create “W’s” for all courses enrolled in the entire semester regardless of course completion or course grades assigned.
