IX. Official Withdrawal (Voluntary) From University 

A student who is considering withdrawing from study is strongly advised to consult with his or her faculty advisor. If the student decides to withdraw from University, the Registrar's Office must be notified in writing and the necessary process on the computerized registration system must be completed to avoid failing grades. The official date of withdrawal will be the date written communication is received in the Registrar's Office or the date recorded on the computerized system. Notifying instructors or ceasing to attend lectures does not constitute official withdrawal.
