Students should officially withdraw from Elon prior to matriculation at their next institution or if they plan to take some time off. If a student plans to leave at the end of the semester (after exams), below is some information about the end of semester withdrawal process.
Students planning to withdraw from the University at the end of the Fall Semester should plan to complete a brief application and exit interview during normal office hours beginning December 9, 2009. Students will pick up a copy of the withdrawal application in the Office of Student Development (Moseley 206), complete a brief exit interview with a Student Life staff member, and get applicable office signatures. Withdrawal interviews are conducted on a walk-in basis (no appointments).
• All end of semester withdrawals will be processed after final course grades are posted on December 16. End of semester suspensions supersede withdrawals. Withdrawing does not “save” a student if students do not successfully complete courses or take final exams.
• Students who plan to transfer and need a final transcript sent to another college should make arrangements with the Registrar’s Office (Alamance 104).Cost is $ 5.00 per transcript.
If a student has a Deans Certification from their prospective institution, they should sign the release of information statement (usually directly on the form) and take the form to the Office of Judicial Affairs (Moseley 211). They will verify campus judicial standing and forward the form directly to the institution.
• Students who receive any type of financial aid (scholarships, grants or loans) MUST consult with the Office of Financial Planning prior to leaving the University.
• Students should also check with the Bursar to make sure any outstanding charges (Health Services, parking fines, library/media fines, etc.) are paid prior to withdrawing.
• Student athletes must be cleared with the Department of Athletics, especially if they plan to participate in intercollegiate sports at a later time.
Students who are withdrawing and who, live in campus owned or operated housing are responsible for notifying Residence Life (Moseley 213) of their plans to withdraw.
If students decide to with draw after they leave campus in December, they can complete the withdrawal process by e-mailing Janice Ratliff at ratliff@elon.edu. They should provide their name, complete local and home addresses, Datatel number, and a brief statement about why they are withdrawing.
