University Student Initiatives Manual (USI)

USI 201–10 Table

The instructor prepares and forwards to the department chair and Judicial Affairs in the Office of Student Life a memo documenting the student’s disruptive behavior, expressing a desire to withdraw the student, and indicating a grade of either “ or “W.”

The department chair or administrative equivalent reviews the memo. If approved, he or she signs the memo and forwards it to the dean or the dean’s designee. If the withdrawal is not approved, the memo is returned to the instructor to indicate that the student is to remain in the class.

The dean or designee reviews the memo. If the withdrawal is approved, the dean’s office signs the memo, forwards it to the Records Information section of the University Registrar’s Office or Registration Services at the West campus, and notifies the student of the decision. If disapproved, the dean or designee returns the memo to the instructor and indicates that the student is to remain in the class.

The Records Information Section of the University Registrar’s Office or Registration Services at the West campus processes the withdrawal and retains the file copy. The instructor records a grade of “E” or “W” on the final class list.

A student who wishes to appeal the withdrawal should contact the dean’s office to begin the appeal procedure.
