Withdrawal FAQ

THE Spring 2026 Withdrawal Deadline is Thursday, April 9th.

How can I withdraw?

You can initiate a withdrawal in Athena. Follow these steps:

  1. Log in to Athena
  2. Choose “Student” > “Student & Registration” > “Registration”>"Register for Classes"
  3. From there, you will see a list of the courses in which you are registered.
  4. For the course you want to drop, choose “Action” > “Course Withdrawal.”
  5. Submit Changes.
  6. This will then show an updated list of courses including the withdrawn course which should now read “Course withdrawn on xxxxxxxx (date)”
  7. Log out or return to main menu for other options.

Note: If you have ANY holds in Athena other than advising for a future semester, you cannot withdraw until you clear them. University offices (which may help you clear some holds) are open only on weekdays from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
