On rare occasions students are faced with extraordinary circumstances like extended illness or equivalent distress that make it extremely difficult to drop a class by the Auto-W Deadline or that impede success in a class after the Auto-W deadline. In these rare situations a student may petition for approval for a late withdrawal from the course. Poor performance in a course does not qualify as an urgent reason for requesting a late withdrawal.
The following are procedures for IU Exploratory, Pre-Business, Pre-Nursing, or Pre-Social Work students. Other students should consult with their academic advisor to learn about procedures in your school.
If you need to do a total withdrawal from all classes, complete the Withdraw from All Subjects form through the Office of Student Advocates. We recommend you meet with your academic advisor prior to submitting the form.
