Withdrawal Information

A student who finds it necessary to withdraw from all credit classes must initiate a formal withdrawal thru the Student Life Office on the Denton, Dallas or Houston campus.   Request for Withdrawal Forms are available on the web or in the Student Life Office. The effective date of withdrawal is the day upon which the student submits the completed Request for Withdrawal Form and it is received by the appropriate office. Forms may be faxed to (940) 898-3629 Denton Campus, (214)689-6583 Dallas Campus, (713)794-2169 Houston Campus. Withdrawals are not permitted after Thursday of the fifth week of the final exams for the fall and spring terms. Please see the Academic Calendar for specific dates.

A student who withdraws on or up to the 12th class day or the 4th day of summer school will have no record of coursework on the transcript. A student who withdraws after the 12th class day or 4th day of summer school and before the last day to drop without penalty will receive a grade of "W". After the last date to withdraw without penalty, the grade of "WF" is assigned, unless the student withdraws for medical reasons or a "W" is recommended by the instructor.

Medical Withdrawals. A student whose medical or psychological health condition precludes class attendance may be withdrawn from Texas Woman's University effective the day and under the conditions specified at the time of the withdrawal. A student who requests a medical withdrawal must submit written documentation from their treating physician along with an official TWU Withdrawal Form to the Vice President for Student Life.

Please note that financial aid recipients should first contact the Financial Aid Office before dropping classes, or withdrawing from the university, to determine how a change will affect financial aid. Students who drop classes or withdraw from university may be required to repay part or all of the financial aid funds received during the semester. Also, financial aid eligibility for future semesters may be affected.

All international students should contact the Office of International Education so that the office can explain how the process may affect immigration status.

You are advised to contact the Cashier's Office if you owe fees or loans to the University.

You are advised to contact University Housing to make arrangements about vacating your room if you live on campus.
