Total Withdrawals

Total Withdrawal

A total withdrawal is defined as formally ceasing attendance in all courses, ending enrollment earlier than the  scheduled course end date. This includes part of term courses that do not span the length of the entire semester.

  • Please review the FAQ document.
  • Two policies must be followed for a total withdrawal:
  • Only a total withdrawal within the refund policy dates is eligible for a tuition refund. Withdrawing from one or more courses but still enrolled in at least one course does not result in a refund of tuition. After the fourth day of the semester a student may withdraw from a course and receive a "W" grade within the Registrar's deadlines. Once a withdrawal deadline has passed, you will receive a grade for the class.

Student Responsibilities

  • It is the student's responsibility to submit a completed Total Withdrawal request form on or after the first day of class.

  • Students may drop their courses through the Registration module of Ferris360 prior to the first day of the semester without incurring tuition charges. During the first 4 days of the semester, a student who wishes to drop their courses must complete and submit the Total Withdrawal request form. After the 4th class day, the tuition charges are subject to the Refund Schedule. Failure to follow these steps will result in the student being responsible for full tuition and fees.
