Withdrawal

Withdrawal for each term begins after the drop deadline. Students remain fee liable for any classes from which they withdraw. Students may withdraw from a class and receive the notation of "W" until the deadline noted in the "Academic Calendar" online at http://calendar.sdes.ucf.edu/. 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p.m. on the last day to withdraw and must include the student's identification number, the course(s) from which to be withdrawn and his or her signature. Students may also mail a written request to the Registrar's Office, P.O. Box 160114, Orlando, FL 32816-0114. This letter must be time-stamped or postmarked before the published withdrawal deadline and must include the student's identification number, the course(s) from which to be withdrawn and his or her signature.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 classes may have financial aid, NCAA eligibility or international visa consequences. Students should seek appropriate advisement prior to withdrawing from a class. If a student withdraws from courses for an entire term with the intent of not returning to UCF, they must also drop courses for any future terms or be fee liable and receive a grade.
