Withdrawal

Students are considered withdrawn from the Chapman University if they:

1. Drop all courses in which they are enrolled during a semester;
2. After completing a semester they do not return for the subsequent semester. 

Students withdrawing during the semester may drop their classes through WebAdvisor, or submit the Registration form to drop classes to the Registrar’s Office during the drop and withdraw period of the term being attended.

Undergraduate students who plan to return after interrupting their enrollment at Chapman University must review the Interrupted Enrollment policy.

Graduate students who plan to return after interrupting their enrollment must review the Leave of Absence policy. 

Current students who are uncertain whether to drop their last class or withdraw from the university are strongly urged to contact the campus Dean of Students prior to withdrawing. Graduate students should contact the Chancellor's Office.

Current Brandman University students who are uncertain whether to drop their last class or withdraw from the Chapman University System are strongly urged to meet with their advisor at the campus they attend. See Brandman University services website for more information.
