How does a student disenroll from a term?
If a student has changed their plans and do not intend to return to the university for a term, but has already registered for courses, that student needs to disenroll prior to the first day of the term. To disenroll please do one of the following:
- Visit Wolverine Services and speak with a Student Services representative prior to the first day of the term. Bring photo identification when you visit the office.
- Email the Office of the Registrar at wolverineservices@umich.edu prior to the first day of the term. The email should include: the student's name, identification number, Academic Unit, and the term for which the student should be disenrolled.
- 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. Written communication should include: the student's name, identification number, Academic Unit, the term for which the student should be disenrolled, student signature, and a return address.
The information may also be faxed to: 734-763-9053
The letter should be mailed to:
Wolverine Services - Central Campus
Office of the Registrar
University of Michigan
2200 SAB
515 E. Jefferson St.
Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1316
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.
