Withdrawal

Withdrawal for each term begins after the "Late Registration and Drop/Swap" period ends. Students may withdraw from a class and receive the notation of "W" until the date noted in the Academic Calendar, http://www.registrar.sdes.ucf.edu/calendar/academic/. A student may withdraw from courses using myUCF at https://my.ucf.edu, or by visiting the Registrar's Office (MH 161), certain college advising offices, or a Regional Campus records office. Students may withdraw by fax at 407-823-5652. Faxed requests must be received by 5:00 p.m. on the last day to withdraw and must include the student's PID or Social Security number, the course(s) to be dropped and his or her signature. Students also may send a written request to the Registrar's Office by mail (to P.O. Box 160114, Orlando, FL 32816-0114). This letter must be time-stamped or postmarked by the published withdrawal deadline and must include the student's PID or Social Security number, the course(s) to be dropped and his or her signature. Students seeking to withdraw in person must sign the request and must provide photo-identification. The official date of withdrawal is the date the University receives the withdrawal request. Requests received by mail are processed using the postmark as the official date of withdrawal. Withdrawing from clases may have financial aid, NCAA eligiblity, or international Visa consequences. Students shoud seek appropriate advisement prior to withdrawing from a class.
