Before withdrawing from a course, careful thought should be given to the reasons for withdrawing and possible consequences. Withdrawals can have a negative impact on both your progress toward graduation and eligibility for financial aid. Withdrawal from Course should be used infrequently and considered an action of last resort. It is to your advantage to read the instructions below before withdrawing.
It is always a good idea and courtesy to discuss your decision to withdraw with your instructor.
Withdrawals resulting in enrollment for less than 12 hours may affect financial aid and scholarships. Check with the Financial Aid Office, Moot Hall 230, if you are not certain. View financial aid information on the web at http://financialaid.buffalostate.edu/
Check with your academic advisor (and EOP advisor for EOP students) for possible impact on your time of graduation.
Withdrawals count against the credit limit for financial aid awards, so if you are on academic probation, or repeating course, check with the Financial Aid office before taking action.
If you are having problems, there is help available.
Submit a student course withdrawal directly in Banner using Self-Service (SSB). The following HOLDS will prevent registration-related activity including online withdrawal from course: Academic Advising hold, Bursar hold, Financial Aid hold, Library hold, Parking hold, and Weigel hold. If you have a hold on your account that prevents you from processing an online withdrawal from course, please print, complete, and return a Request to Withdraw from a Course Due to a Hold Form to the Registrar's Office no later than the established withdrawal from course deadline.
Go to Add or Drop Classes screen.
Click on the Action drop-down menu for the CRN (course reference number) you want to select or withdraw from.
Select Student Course Withdrawal and click on Submit Changes.
Before you Submit Changes, be sure to double-check that this is the course/CRN you want to withdraw from. WARNING! Withdrawal from course is final once entered. You cannot make a change after the action has been saved.
Once you have submitted your change, double-check your schedule to be sure the change submitted was successful.
If the change you submitted was successful, you will see the statement "Student Course Withdrawal on month-day-year" (for example: Student Course Withdrawal on Jan 13, 2011) under the status of the CRN.
Print & save a copy of the confirmation screen.
