3.    The student should notify the Office of the Registrar in writing that they do not intend to return for the _____term. The letter must be postmarked or faxed to the office prior to the first day of the term.

Check the Academic Calendar for deadline dates.

Students enrolled in business, dentistry, law, medicine, the online masters of applied data science, and social work should check their respective schools for academic calendar information, including disenrollment information.

Students should disenroll from the term as soon as they know they will not be returning so that another student may take their places in courses.
