Cancellations & Withdrawals
While attending
UWSP, circumstances may arise that requires a student to withdraw

you are considering withdrawing, you are encouraged to consult with
your advisor prior to completing the official withdrawal process so
that you may discuss the best possible outcomes for your individual

The following information will assist you with the withdrawal
process:

Failure to notify the university by these dates will result in the

B. WITHDRAWAL FROM THE UNIVERSITY
If you register and then decide after classes have begun to withdraw from the University, contact the Registration and Records Office, Room 101 of the Student Services Building or complete the Withdrawal Form to initiate the withdrawal process. You will need to provide a signed statement. "A student who voluntarily leaves the University at any time without completing the prescribed withdrawal procedures will be considered as still registered and will receive an F in each course in which enrolled."
If you withdraw during the first eight days of the semester, only the date of withdrawal will appear on the transcript. After the eighth day and through the tenth week, you will receive a "W" for each course. Dates and actions are prorated for courses meeting less than the full term.
After the tenth week you may not withdraw unless the reasons for withdrawal are serious illness, personal duress or are clearly beyond your control. After the tenth week of classes, requests to withdraw must be directed to the Student Academic Advising Center, 103 SSB. If you are permitted to withdraw after the tenth week, grades of "W" will be assigned to your courses. Courses that end prior to your withdrawal are an exception. You will receive grades for courses completed prior to your withdrawal.
