A student who wishes to withdraw from all current term classes during any semester or summer session may begin the withdrawal process by completing the following actions:

1. Log in to myPurdue and perform the following steps: 

• Select the Registration tab
• Select “Withdrawal from Current Academic Term" 
• Complete and submit the form

2. Your request will be held for 5 business days to allow you to ask any questions or change your mind. The date which you submit the online withdrawal request form will be utilized as the effective date of withdrawal. 

The withdrawal action will be considered final upon the Office of the Dean of Students approval of the withdrawal. You will receive email verification when the process is complete.

Specific withdrawal dates can be found in the Mortar Board calendar and on the Office of the Registrar's website. Please note that grade assignment and refund schedules for academic sessions of shorter duration are proportionate to the length of the session.

Before a student withdraws from the University, it is important to be aware of how that decision may impact financial aid. To learn more about this impact, please consult with the Division of Financial Aid.

Students may drop or withdraw from individual classes through the scheduling assistant in myPurdue according to the schedule created for each term. If you have questions or concerns, contact your academic advisor.

After the first day of the term, withdrawal from your only or last class is considered a full withdrawal from the term and students must follow the full withdrawal procedures outlined above.

Please consult your academic advisor if you feel that you have extenuating circumstances outside of your control that may warrant a withdrawal after the deadline. For consideration for a full or partial withdrawal after the deadline, contact the central advising office at advising@purdue.edu for information regarding the process.

At times a student may wish to not enroll in an upcoming term. This can occur when students are planning to transfer from Purdue, sit out one term and return, or otherwise take a break. 

While there is no official process to withdraw from Purdue for a future term, students should consider the following:

• Drop all classes for future terms using the myPurdue scheduling assistant
• Communicate with University Residences regarding your housing contract
• Inform your academic advisor of your plans
• Consult with the Division of Financial Aid and/or Purdue Promise if applicable
• Resolve any outstanding University balances
• Confirm a zero balance on your myPurdue billing statement 
• International students should contact International Students and Scholars

Please consult your academic advisor if you feel you have had extenuating circumstances that may warrant submitting an appeal for a retroactive withdrawal. This process is utilized when the course has ended. Please contact the central advising office at advising@purdue.edu for information regarding the process.
