One-Time-Only Late Withdrawal

Each student may, once during their undergraduate enrollment, withdraw from a course without college approval and receive the transcript symbol “W” after the deadline for withdrawal—tenth week of the semester—and at any time up to and including the last day of instruction for that course. A student may not withdraw after completing the final examination for a course.

Unlike the option to drop a class online before the semester deadline during the tenth week, the One-Time Only (OTO) Late Withdrawal can be used only once during each student’s academic career at the U of M. The OTO Late Withdrawal cannot be used during or after finals week. Students who use their OTO Late Withdrawal will still receive a “W” grade on their transcript and must pay for the class.

In order to request the OTO Late Withdrawal, CFANS students must submit the electronic One-Time Late Withdrawal form no later than 11:59 p.m. on the last day of instruction for the semester.

NOTE: International students must also discuss any course cancellations with the International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) office prior to using their One-Time-Only Late Withdrawal.
