Withdrawals

Withdrawing from a class

When a student drops a course(s) after the normal drop/add period, without completely withdrawing from the university, the student will be charged full tuition for the course(s) dropped and will receive a grade of “W." This rule applies to both semesters and summer session. Not attending a course does not constitute withdrawing from a course. Contact the Mandel School Registrar for details on this process.

Withdrawing from the university

Students withdrawing from the Mandel School must meet with the Assistant Dean, Student Services, for an exit interview and return their University student ID, prior to completing the withdrawal process on the Student Information System. See the refund percentage table (by date) on the CWRU Registrar Withdrawal and Tuition Refunds page.
