Students may withdraw officially from all courses during the first fourteen days of instruction without academic penalty (no “W” grade on academic record).
Students who have serious or compelling reasons to cancel their registration, or who wish to withdraw from all classes after the last day to drop without a “W” grade, should consult their instructors, department chair, academic advisor, and Academic Advising and Retention Services in the Student Services Center. An additional source of assistance is available from the Counseling Office.
A completed "Withdrawal from the Semester Request" form must be submitted to Academic Advising and Retention Services in the Student Services Center. The form is available at www.sjsu.edu/registrar/forms/index.htm. Failure to follow formal university procedures may result in an obligation to pay fees as well as the assignment of failing grades in all courses. Students who leave the university but who do not officially withdraw will receive a grade of “WU” (denotes failure for unauthorized drop or withdrawal) in all of their classes. No personnel actions, grades, or transcript services will be permitted until all financial obligations, such as unpaid fines have been settled. If a student fails to return the semester immediately following withdrawal, the student will need to reapply for admission at www.csumentor.edu.
Students who receive financial aid funds must consult with the Financial Aid and Scholarship office prior to withdrawing from the university regarding any required return or repayment of grant or loan assistance received for that academic term or payment period. If a recipient of student financial aid funds withdraws from the institution during an academic term or a payment period, the amount of grant or loan assistance received may be subject to return and/or repayment provisions.
Refer to the policy on "Continuous Attendance" for information about the possible effect a break in attendance may have on requirements for graduation.
