Special Circumstances Appeal Form - 2025-2026 Academic Year
Did your, or your family's financial circumstances change after you filed your FAFSA form? You can file a Special Circumstances Appeal by completing a Special Circumstances Form, and supplying all required documentation.
Federal regulations require that IU Northwest establish a policy to monitor the academic progress of students who apply for financial assistance. The Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards listed below apply to all Title IV financial aid recipients at IU Northwest whether financial aid was received for prior coursework or not. This policy applies to full-time, part-time, undergraduate, and graduates of all degree programs.
SAP is measured annually at the end of the spring term for all Title IV recipients enrolled in any AA, AS, BA, BS, MA, or MS program and is monitored each enrolled term, including summer for those students who are on probation. SAP is monitored each term for all certificate programs.
In order to be eligible for financial aid, students must meet all three of the requirements listed below. If you do not meet all the requirements listed, you will be notified via your IU email account, and an item will appear on your one.iu.edu Student Center To Do List. You will see multiple items on your To Do List if there are multiple SAP requirements that you do not meet.
1. Cumulative Program Grade Point Average (GPA)
2. Completion Rate
You must complete a minimum of 67% or higher of your attempted GPA hours. To calculate your completion rate, divide the total number of IU Hours that you successfully completed by the total number of IU Hours attempted.
Hours successfully completed include those with grades of A, B, C, D, P, R, and S. Unsuccessful completion (included in Total Hours Attempted in the formula above) includes grades of F, FX, I, and W. Transfer hours are counted as both attempted and completed.
While students are allowed to repeat courses to improve their cumulative GPA, all enrolled courses are counted as attempted, even those repeated courses.
3. Maximum Degree Completion Time Frame of 150%
You must complete your degree requirements within 150% of the published semester-hour length of your program, as follows:
Certificate programs
Associate degree: Maximum 90 hours
Bachelor's degree: Maximum 180 hours
Graduate Certificate programs: Maximum 23 hours
Master’s degree:
You may reinstate your financial aid eligibility in two ways:
In addition to completing the appeal form, you are required to provide the following documents:
No appeals for aid for any semester will be accepted more than 30 days prior to the last day of classes for that semester (14 days for summer session).
Appeals are reviewed by the committee weekly during the summer and as needed during the academic year. Appeals must be received at least 5 business days prior to any committee meeting to be reviewed at that meeting. Appeals received 4 days or fewer before a meeting may be held until the next meeting. You will be notified of the outcome of your appeal via your IU email account.
You are responsible for any tuition and fees (including late fees) that are charged to your account while awaiting the outcome of your appeal.
If your appeal is approved, you are notified via email of your approval for one term. You are then on financial aid probation. You will be given conditions by which you can continue to qualify for financial aid. Your progress will then be monitored each term until you are meeting SAP standard.
If at the end of your probationary period, you fail to meet SAP standards or the conditions of an approved appeal, you will lose financial aid eligibility.
A student whose appeal is denied by committee who believes they have properly documented that they meet the guidelines for reinstatement of financial aid may request review by the Director of Financial Aid and Scholarships. The Director of Financial Aid and Scholarships’ decision is the final opportunity for review.
Approved by the Faculty Organization, April 23, 2010; Name changed from Academic Forgiveness to Academic Renewal, January, 2020; Amended to include up to two terms of IU coursework from any IU campus, February 16, 2024.
Criteria: Undergraduate students who have not attended Indiana University for at least two years, are pursuing their first bachelor’s degree, and are returning to IU Northwest for the fall semester, 2010 or later, may request academic renewal. Renewal means that all grades earned during the term(s) in question will not be counted in the calculation of the program GPA. The grades will remain on the student’s official transcript. Academic renewal may be requested for no more than two terms of IU coursework. Two consecutive summer sessions may be considered a single academic term for purposes of this policy. The petition must be submitted upon application for admission to a degree-granting unit. If the student has not yet been admitted to a degree-granting unit, the student should submit a notification of intent to petition for academic renewal as part of the academic advising process. Academic renewal may be invoked only once in a student’s academic career. Academic renewal is inapplicable to any grades issued as a result of academic dishonesty. Academic renewal petition forms are available from your academic school or division.
Recording Practice: beginning with the Fall 2010 semester, after approval of the Academic renewal petition, the original grades will remain on a student’s academic record (official and unofficial transcripts), but the GPA and hours earned calculations will be adjusted appropriately in the Student Program statistics.
The Office of Student Accounts is responsible for the collection of University financial obligations. An account that is past due is encumbered by the Office of Student Accounts. The Student Loan Administration may also encumber the accounts of students who have not satisfied their obligations to that department. A student whose account is encumbered will be denied certain University services (e.g. registration, transcripts, enrollment verification, diploma, financial aid). Payment agreements with the Office of Student Accounts will not clear a student to register. Once payment in full is received or appropriate credits have been applied to the bursar account, financial holds will be removed.
Process to request a late withdrawal from a term due to extenuating circumstances.
Students who face circumstances beyond their control that a) make it necessary for them to withdraw from the semester after the Automatic Withdrawal deadline, or b) caused them to receive failing grades for a prior semester, may request an administrative withdrawal from all of their classes from the Associate Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs (AVCSA). The request should specify why an exception to the campus withdrawal policy should be made, including the reason the student did not withdraw prior to the deadline, and should include appropriate documentation. In circumstances when a medical problem necessitates the withdrawal, the request must be accompanied by a signed statement from the student’s attending health care professional indicating that, in their opinion, a medical condition interfered with the student’s ability to successfully complete the semester or to withdraw prior to the deadline.
The financial consequences of administrative withdrawals from courses are the same as those for standard withdrawals from courses. If the semester in question is within the past year, the student must provide documentation from each of their instructors indicating the last day they attended each class.
After the request has been submitted, the AVCSA (or delegate) will review the documentation and determine whether to recommend a grade of W for the course(s). The AVCSA may invite the academic unit(s) to verify the events in question. Before requesting a grade change by the Registrar, the AVCSA must gain the approval of the Assoc. Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs (or delegate). With this policy, no grades may be changed more than four (4) years from the last day of classes for the semester in question, barring extreme circumstances.
Approved by Dean’s Council June 4, 2013; revised February 6, 2018
Courses may be taken on an official audit basis, which means that students can attend the course without working for or expecting to receive formal credit.
Courses may be taken on an official audit basis, which means that students can attend the course without working for or expecting to receive formal credit. No credit will be given and the audited course will be indicated on the student's transcript with a grade of NC (no credit). The student must discuss course work expectations with the instructor and it is up to the instructor to approve the student's request. Courses taken for audit do not apply toward any academic degree and do not count as part of a student's full- or part-time course load for purposes of financial aid or loan deferments. The tuition for an audited course is the same as that for a credit course.
Students considering the audit option should discuss their plans carefully with their academic advisor. It is possible that another grading option (i.e., Pass/Fail) may be more appropriate. In some cases, schools do not allow students to register for a class for credit after taking it on an audit basis. Students must pick up the audit forms from their school or division, secure the appropriate signatures, and submit the completed form to the Office of the Registrar by the deadline specified in the academic calendar. Once invoked, the student may not change to credit status for the course.
The University reserves the right to send official communications to students by e-mail. Official university e-mail accounts are available for all registered students. Official university communications will be sent to students' official e-mail addresses.
Students are expected to check their e-mail on a frequent and consistent basis in order to stay current with university-related communications.
Students who choose to have their e-mail forwarded from their official university e-mail address to another address do so at their own risk. The University is not responsible for any difficulties that may occur in the proper and timely transmission or access to e-mail forwarded to any other address, and any such problems will not absolve students of their responsibility to know and comply with the content of official communications sent to their official IU e-mail addresses. Instructions on setting up or canceling the forwarding of e-mail may be found at http://itaccounts.iu.edu.
The Office of Student Accounts adheres to IU's communication policy stated above. E-mail is the official means of communication at IU, and students are responsible for reading the content of e-mail sent from the Office of Student Accounts.
Indiana University advanced to all-electronic billing in July 2005. Since 2003 bursar statements have been available for viewing on and printing from the web through IU Bursar Pay. Students and authorized payers are sent e-mail notifications when a new bill is generated and have access to the statements much faster than paper bills were available, providing greater time for remitting payment by the due date (whether paying electronically or by mail).
Beginning with the 2005-06 academic year, the University ceased to generate paper bills for bursar account activity. Â̲èÖ±²¥ will cease to generate paper bills for student account activity beginning with the 2019-20 academic year. All registered students are sent an e-mail to their IU e-mail address when the monthly bill is available on the web. In addition, any authorized payer created by the student has the option of being sent these bill notifications.
Failure to receive the e-mail notification of a bill will not be accepted as a reason for missing any payment deadline.
If you drop a course or withdraw from all courses after the refund period due to significant or unusual circumstances, you have the right to submit an appeal of the fee refund policy. You must do so within one year of the end of the semester in which you dropped the course or withdrew from all courses.
After dropping the course or withdrawing, complete and submit the fee appeal policy form. Be sure to follow all instructions on the form.
Any time you register for classes, fail to return a library book, park in the wrong space, or do anything else that causes an IU department to charge you a fee, your student account will be charged.
If you need more information about these fees or want to dispute a fee, contact the office or department that charged the fee. For example:
Appeals can be submitted for significant or unusual circumstances.
Students have the right to appeal the refund policy concerning credit hours and course related fees for up to one year if there is a significant or unusual circumstance that causes their withdrawal from classes after the usual refund period. The procedure for filing an appeal is:
For additional questions on the fee appeal process, please contact bursarnw@iu.edu.
Policy approved by the Faculty Organization on Jan. 20, 2017.
Applied retroactively from Spring 2017 forward — any prior grade, not otherwise excluded by this policy, is eligible for replacement by grades earned in Spring 2017 and beyond.
Undergraduate students who receive a grade lower than an A may be eligible, upon retaking the course, to remove the earlier grade from their grade point average (GPA). The original grade will be replaced on the transcript with the letter grade followed by an X (e.g., a D would be replaced with a DX, a C with a CX, etc.) and the new grade will be recorded in the semester the course was retaken. Students who wish to invoke this policy should consult their academic advisor. See University Policy section C4 for the latest guidance on this policy.
A federal rule governing student privacy, and the university policies that support it, are detailed here.
Students who are required to withdraw from one or more courses involuntarily, due to circumstances outside of their control, may submit an appeal to request a refund of fees.
A completed Fee Refund Appeal Form must be received by the Office of Student Accounts within one year following the close of the appealed term/session.
Appeal requests must be submitted by the student. Appeals submitted by a parent or legal guardian on behalf of the student, will be accepted only in circumstances where the student may be mentally or physically unable.
All communication made by our office regarding the appeal will be sent via IU e-mail or to the contact information (local mailing address and phone number) provided in One.IU. Please ensure that all addresses and phone numbers on file with the University are kept current. You can update this information through your One.IU account.
Incomplete applications will not be considered by the Office of Student Accounts Appeal Committee.
Please review the Form for Documentation Requirements
Final Decision Notification:
Once the completed Fee Refund Appeal Form has been received by our office, your appeal will be reviewed by the Office of Student Accounts Appeals Committee.
Enrolling in classes at IU comes with financial responsibilities, which include tuition, fees, and other related costs — all of which are part of a legally binding contract. Tuition and fees will be assessed to your bursar account, and you will receive notifications about this account through your university email account. Make sure you understand your obligations by reading the financial agreement below.
By enrolling in classes at Indiana University (IU), you are entering into a legally binding contract in which you acknowledge and agree to pay all tuition and fees assessed to your bursar account. This includes accepting responsibility for any additional costs related to your enrollment at Indiana University including, but not limited to, room and housing charges, meals, parking passes and fines, library fines, and any other departmental or college costs. Tuition and Fees apply regardless of the method of instruction or length of term, even if the instruction method changes at any point of the year, and you acknowledge that such academic determinations will be made by Indiana University in its sole discretion. Published drop/add deadlines also apply regardless of the method of instruction.
You understand and agree that if you allow your bursar account to become delinquent, Indiana University will restrict your access to certain services, such as future registration or release of diploma, until such time as your account is paid in full. You understand and agree that if you fail to pay your student account bill or any monies due and owing Indiana University by the billing due date, Indiana University reserves the right to cancel your enrollment and may assess late payment and/or finance charges per month on the past due portion of your student account until your past due account is paid in full.
In addition, you understand and agree that Indiana University may refer your past due account for collection, report your delinquency to the credit bureau system, authorize legal action against you for the collection of this debt and report the debt to the Indiana Department of Revenue Tax Interception Program. You understand and agree that you will be liable for all collection fees, plus any court and attorney fees resulting from the enforcement of this agreement (as allowed under Indiana Code section 21-14-2-11), necessary for the collection of any amount not paid when due. Any collection fees stated above are in addition to the principal, fees, and interest due on the account.
You understand and agree that Indiana University uses electronic means for registration in classes, financial aid acceptance and processing, and financial transactions such as account payments and payment plan setup. Email is an official method of communication at IU. IU will send notifications regarding your academic record, account balances, financial aid, and other information related to your status as a student at Indiana University to your official university email account.
You understand and agree that if you accrue an unpaid balance, you authorize the University and/or its agents, including attorneys and collection agencies, to contact you via cellular telephone and all forms of electronic technology (including text messaging and email) to collect such outstanding debt, unless you notify the agent in writing to cease electronic/cellular communication.
You understand and agree that neither suspension nor expulsion from Indiana University ends your obligation to pay any unpaid tuition and fees assessed to your bursar account. You further understand and agree that suspension or expulsion will result in the forfeiture of tuition and fees paid for the semester in which you were suspended or expelled.
You understand and agree that administrative, clerical, or technical billing errors do not absolve you of your financial responsibility to pay the correct amount of tuition, fees, and other associated financial obligations assessed as a result of your registration at Indiana University.
In the event that a payment to your student account is declined or reversed by the bank for any reason, you agree to repay the original amount of the payment plus a returned payment fee not to exceed the maximum amount allowed by Indiana law. You understand and agree that returned payments and/or failure to comply with the terms of any payment plan or agreement you entered into with Indiana University, may result in cancellation of your classes and/or suspension of your eligibility to register for future classes at Indiana University. You acknowledge that Indiana University may require guaranteed funds for future payments as a condition for allowing registration.
You understand and agree that if you drop or withdraw from some or all of the classes for which you register, you will be responsible for paying all or a portion of tuition and fees in accordance with the published tuition refund schedule. You further understand that your failure to attend class or receive a bill does not absolve you of your financial responsibility as described above.
For students who plan to take some time off from their studies.
Periodically students choose to interrupt their enrollment. Allowing students to take a leave of absence provides students the opportunity to return to the university under the rules and policies in effect when they left. It also allows the University the opportunity to counsel students about the required actions to return to the University.
Undergraduates are expected to maintain continuous registration every fall and spring term from the time they matriculate until they graduate. Students who do not maintain continuous registration for any reason should consult an advisor about whether to request a leave of absence and determine the financial aid or re‐admission implications of not registering.
1. Students in good academic standing will ordinarily be granted a leave of absence upon request, subject to the
considerations below. The length of the leave must not exceed four terms (fall and spring terms). Leaves of absence should be limited to the following reasons:
Students with other circumstances should consult with their advisor(s) for appropriate alternatives.
2. Students may return before the expiration of their leave. Whether the student returns early or at the expiration of the leave, colleges may condition the timing of readmission to a program on availability of space. Students do not need to be readmitted when returning from leave and they are not charged a fee to return to active student status.
3. Undergraduates in good standing who choose not to register for a term (excluding summer) and who have not been granted a leave of absence, or whose leave of absence has expired, will be eligible for reinstatement according to current program requirements and in consultation with an advisor.
4. Students who are discontinued must contact their college office to obtain approval for readmission to a program and register for another term. Students in good academic standing at the time they were discontinued normally will be allowed to return.
5. A student who has left the university without a Leave of Absence for more than two consecutive terms (not including summer sessions) may be held to new program requirements upon returning to the university. A student returning within two terms (fall and spring) or less may follow the program requirements in place when they left the university.
Supports students who are members of the US Armed Forces who are called to active duty.
Our mission is to provide resources, guidance, and financial assistance for students in a caring, knowledgeable, professional, and personalized manner. We comply with all federal, state, and university regulations and guidelines.
Academic standing governs of students with academic challenges.
(passed by Faculty Organization Nov. 16, 2012)
To maintain the integrity of the programs and degrees offered at Â̲èÖ±²¥, the following policy has been established to promote academic achievement and satisfactory academic progress towards degree.
Satisfactory Academic Standing: A student who maintains a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or higher is considered to be making satisfactory academic progress. At the privilege of the academic unit, minimum GPA requirements may be increased. Future licensing requirements and select enrollment in competitive programs with limited vacancies are common reasons for increased GPA requirements.
Probation: A student who has completed one or more Â̲èÖ±²¥ GPA hours and has a cumulative grade point average below 2.0 is placed on probation. A student on probation remains on probation until their cumulative GPA is 2.0 or higher. At the privilege of the academic unit (the dean), minimum GPA requirements may be higher. Transfer students who have been offered admission and have attempted one semester at another institution of higher education, including other campuses of Indiana University, will be placed on probation at
time of admission if their cumulative transfer GPA is below 2.0.
Strict Probation: A student who is on probation and fails to earn a semester (fall, spring, or combined summer session) GPA of 2.0 or higher will be placed on strict probation. In addition, a first semester student who receives any grade of FN or FNN, indicating they never attended or stopped attending a class, AND fails to earn a semester GPA of 2.0 will be placed on strict probation. Academic units may require students on strict probation to enroll in select courses
that are offered to increase student success and/or limit their enrollment to part-time only.
Transfer students who have been offered admission and have attempted two or more semesters at another institution of higher education, including other campuses of Indiana University, will be placed on strict probation at time of admission if they have 2 or more semesters below a 2.0 GPA and their cumulative transfer GPA is below 2.0. Students remain on strict probation until their cumulative GPA is 2.0 or higher. At the privilege of the academic unit, minimum GPA requirements may be higher.
1st Dismissal: A student who is on strict probation and fails to earn a semester (fall, spring, or
combined summer session) GPA of at least 2.0 will be dismissed from the university.
1st Reinstatement: A student who is dismissed from the University for the first time may petition the academic unit for reinstatement. The petition should include a formal academic plan created under the supervision of the academic advisor. This plan must that outlines the concrete steps they will take to ensure future success. Their student’s chances of being reinstated will increase if they register for and successfully complete a reinstatement workshop, which the campus offers on a recurring basis between academic semesters. Recognizing the skills acquired through reinstatement workshops can be a factor in student success, these sessions are open to all students of Â̲èÖ±²¥, regardless of academic standing. Upon successful reinstatement by their academic unit, the student may enroll in the next available semester with a status of strict probation (defined above).
2nd Dismissal: A student who has been previously dismissed who fails to earn a semester GPA of 2.0 or higher and who fails to raise their cumulative GPA to 2.0 or higher who fails to meet the goals of the formal academic plan will be dismissed from the University for a period of at least one academic semester, excluding summer session.
2nd Reinstatement: A student who is dismissed from the University for the second time will be required to petition for reinstatement to their academic unit after they sit out for at least one academic semester, excluding summer session. As part of the petition, the student may be required or encouraged to complete one or more of the steps listed below:
• Revise the previous academic plan under the supervision of the academic advisor, identifying shortcomings in the original plan as well the revisions designed to facilitate academic success.
• Complete transfer work at another regionally accredited institution of higher education.
• Participate in a series of academic success workshops offered.
Subsequent Dismissals and Reinstatement Opportunities: A student who has been previously reinstated for the second time and fails to earn a semester GPA of 2.0 or higher and have failed to raise their cumulative GPA to 2.0 or fails to meet the goals of the formal academic plan higher will be dismissed for a period of no less than one year from Â̲èÖ±²¥. Reinstatement will be at the privilege of the academic unit and will be granted on an individual basis.
Satisfactory Academic Standing: A student who maintains a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher is considered to be making satisfactory academic progress.
Strict Probation: A graduate student whose has completed one or more IU Northwest GPA hours and has a cumulative grade point average below 3.0 is placed on strict probation. A student on strict probation remains on probation until their cumulative GPA is 3.0 or higher. Academic units may require students on strict probation to enroll in select courses and/or limit enrollment to part-time only.
Dismissal: A graduate student who is on strict probation and fails to earn a semester (fall, spring, or combined summer session) GPA of at least 3.0 or who fails to make significant progress to increase their GPA to 3.0 or higher will be dismissed from the university for a period of at least one academic semester. Graduate students who have been dismissed previously will be dismissed indefinitely.
Reinstatement Opportunities: A graduate student who has been dismissed may petition for reinstatement after a period of at least one semester and consideration will be at the privilege of the academic unit.

It is possible to have a refundable credit balance on your bursar account. This can be the result of:
If a refund results from a payment by check, the refund will be processed 30 days after the date the check was posted to your bursar account.
If a refund results from payment by credit card, the credit will go back to the credit card. Credit card refunds are processed on the Friday following the refundable credit balance showing up on the account.
If you are receiving a paper check or direct deposit, it will be either mailed to your address on file with the Office of the Registrar or deposited into your personal checking or savings account. Allow a reasonable amount of time for the mail delivery of your paper check.
Indiana University is authorized to administer Title IV federal financial aid funds. Title IV funds which may credit your student account include:
Federal regulations require that the University apply your Title IV financial aid funds first to "allowable charges", which are tuition, mandatory fees, and housing contracted with the University. In order to apply any remaining Title IV funds to miscellaneous charges (for example, parking fees, deferment fees, or health center charges) the University is required to obtain your authorization. If your authorization is not received before your financial aid has disbursed to your student account the Title IV funds will not be applied to miscellaneous charges. This may result in an outstanding balance on your account, causing late fees to be assessed and services to be restricted until you pay the balance with personal funds.
Once you grant authorization, it continues to be valid for future years unless you notify the Office of Student Accounts in writing that you wish to withdraw it.
To sign your Title IV authorization online:
You can have your refund deposited directly into your personal checking or savings account and greatly reduce the time it takes to receive your refund. To arrange for direct deposit, go to and follow the step-by-step instructions.
Students dropping courses prior to the end of the first week of classes will receive a 100% credit for all fees for most classes. If a student adds a class at the same time that a class is dropped during the 100% refund period, all payments will be applied to the added class. A Late Schedule Change Fee will be assessed beginning the second week of classes for each added course.
Students performing an exchange of courses in the second week of classes will forfeit 25% of their tuition for the dropped course. A 75% credit will be applied toward the tuition for any added course. This does not apply when performing an even exchange of the same course number, dropping one class number (section) and adding another class number (section) within the same course number.
Example of dropping one course and adding another course in the second week of classes:
During registration, you registered for Elementary Composition, ENG-W 131, class number 19450, for 3 credit hours. You decide to withdraw from ENG-W 131, class number 19450, and add Social Problems, SOC-S 163, class number 19894, for 3 credit hours. Your bursar account will be assessed $22 for the added class number 19894. In addition, 25% of the dropped 19450 class will be forfeited, and 75% credit for the dropped 19450 class will be applied to the tuition for the added 19894 class. The approximate amount due for the drop of ENG-W 131 course and the add of SOC-S 163 will be the $22 Late Schedule Change Fee plus the 25% remaining balance due on the tuition of the added SOC-S 163 class (75% was credited from the dropped ENG-W 131 class.)
Example of dropping and adding within the same course number:
During registration, you registered for Elementary Composition, ENG-W 131, class number 19450 for 3 credit hours. You decide to change sections of the class but remain in ENG-W 131. You drop class number 19450 and add class number 19465. A Late Schedule Change Fee will be assessed for the added class.
Students performing any exchange of courses in the third week of classes will forfeit 50% of their tuition for the dropped course. A 50% credit will be applied toward the tuition for the added course. This does not apply when performing an even exchange of the same course number, dropping one class number (section) and adding another class number (section) within the same course number. In the event of an even exchange, a $22 Late Schedule Change Fee will be assessed for the added class.
Students performing any exchange of courses in the fourth week of classes will forfeit 75% of their tuition for the dropped course. A 25% credit will be applied toward the tuition for the added course. This does not apply when performing an even exchange of the same course number, dropping one class number (section) and adding another class number (section) within the same course number. In the event of an even exchange, a Late Schedule Change Fee will be assessed for the added class.
Students performing any exchange of courses after the fourth week will forfeit 100% of their tuition for the dropped course.
Please refer to the withdrawal page for information on withdrawing from classes. Failing to pay your fees or issuing a stop payment through your bank does not constitute an official withdrawal. To receive a full refund, you must officially withdraw before or during the 100% refund period.
If you do not officially withdraw during the first week of classes, you will be responsible for all fees.
If you are eligible for financial aid but do not plan to complete the semester, you must withdraw from your semester classes. Otherwise, your fees will be paid by your financial aid, your enrollment will be validated, and you will receive failing grades in all registered classes. Financial aid recipients who reduce their enrollment may be required to repay their financial aid. Contact a financial aid counselor before adjusting your class schedule.
Students who are required to withdraw from one or more courses involuntarily, due to circumstances outside of their control, may submit an appeal to request a refund of fees.
See above for the entire fee appeal policy.
When you register, the University reserves specific class spaces for you and commits resources to provide the instruction you have selected. On your part, you assume the responsibility for paying those course fees or for withdrawing from your class(es) by the end of the first week of the term if you decide not to attend.
The availability of courses is subject to change. A section may be cancelled due to low enrollment or departmental staffing considerations. The department cancelling a class will notify registered students of the cancellation. However, it is the student's responsibility to drop the cancelled class. Registered students also will be notified if the meeting time and/or location of a course has changed since the student registered.
Your registration will not automatically be cancelled for nonpayment of fees. You must either pay your fee or withdraw before the end of the first week of the term if you do not intend to return to the Northwest campus. By withdrawing, your class spaces will be released in time to be available to other students.
To cancel your registration through the end of the first week of the term, use . Beginning with the second week of the term, refer to the Drop/Add or Drop/Withdrawal procedure in the printed Schedule of Classes.
The best grade of multiple attempts of a course is used in the calculation of the program (cumulative) GPA, without respect to the sequence of completed attempts. Calculation of the GPA utilizing the best grade occurs automatically once grades are recorded for the term and appear on the official transcript. The academic unit offering the course may limit the number of times students may retake the course. Academic programs with specific admission and/or degree requirements may define their own rules regarding how repeated courses are counted towards admission and/or degree requirements. Before registering for a subsequent attempt, students should consult their advisors and the Office of Financial Aid to identify any repeat limitations in their program or any implications on aid and academic progress.
