Term Withdrawal, Late Drop/Withdrawal, & Cancellation Process

Refunds for Drops/Withdrawals

Drop and withdrawal deadlines are different than the refund schedule. Please consult the Student Financial Services website for specific refund deadlines.

Withdrawal & Related Definitions

Cancellation of Future Term Form – This form will be used if a student is cancelling their enrollment or their admission to UW Oshkosh before the Term/Semester begins.

Medical Drop/Term Withdrawal or Non-Medical Drop/Withdrawal – This form should be used if a student is attempting to drop ALL of their classes OR one or more classes or all their classes AFTER the Drop Deadline (Add-Drop Calendar Deadlines). 

For all Late Drops/Withdrawals, if you are dropping classes AFTER the Drop Deadline for the term (see link to Add-Drop Calendar in above paragraph), you will need to upload documentation from a 3rd party describing extenuating circumstances requiring the drop: 

• Work schedule 

• Doctor note – physical or mental health issues 

• Family emergency documentation (ex. obituary) 

• A severe personal circumstance that impacted the student’s ability to be academically
  successful 

Medical/Late Withdrawal appeals:  Must be accompanied by supporting documentation to substantiate the request. The full UWO Medical Withdrawal Policy, along with the tuition refund schedule, can be found here.  

Drop: Occurs when a student removes themselves from one or more courses but remains enrolled in one or more courses. Students can drop courses themselves through TitanWeb before the session’s drop deadline. Learn how to drop a course here.

After submitting a withdrawal or cancellation form, students will receive information about next steps via email. Withdrawal and cancellation forms are processed by the Registrar’s Office. Students can contact withdraw@uwosh.edu with any questions about the process.
