University/Course Withdrawal (Student Requested)

Online University Withdrawal

Students intending to withdraw from the University must submit written notice to the Student Affairs Department or an e‐mail to OfficeofStudentAdvising@coloradotech.edu. A student’s written notification serves as an official withdrawal and will be processed in a timely manner.

All balances become due and payable at the time of withdrawal from the University.  Students intending to withdraw from the university at the conclusion of their current session must participate in the final week of the session in order to earn a letter grade (A-F) in their course.  Please see Application of Grades and Credits catalog page for more details (https://coloradotech.smartcatalogiq.com/2024/catalog/academic-affairs/copy-of-grading/ )

Online Course Withdrawal

The course withdrawal procedure for students enrolled through Colorado Technical University’s Virtual Campus is a function that can only be carried out in a student’s current session. A request to withdraw from a course that is made after add/drop week and before the fifth week of class will receive a “W.”  Students can withdraw from either some but not all of their courses. Once all of the information has been documented and reviewed the Registrar’s Office will assign the W grades and Registrar Evaluation Services Department will adjust the schedule.

For students withdrawing from a course, but not from all courses in the University:

 

First Session - During the first week of a student’s first session, no tuition charges will be assessed for a dropped course. Once a student enters the second week of the first session, there will be no tuition adjustment for a dropped course.

 

Second Session - During the first week of a student’s second session, no tuition charges will be assessed for a dropped course. Once a student enters the second week of the second session, there will be no tuition adjustment for a dropped course.
