Total University Withdrawal

Students who are withdrawing from all courses for an upcoming semester should contact the Student Enrollment Center at records@esu.edu [with Name, ID, Semester Withdrawing, and Reason] or complete the ESU Total Withdrawal form on the MyESU Student portal.  

Students who withdraw from all courses during the first 8 days of the semester and have engaged in academic-related activity during this period will receive a grade of "W" (withdraw) on their transcript. 

Academic-related activity includes but is not limited to the following:

• Physically attending a class where there is an opportunity for direct interaction between the instructor and students.
• Submitting an academic assignment.
• Taking an exam, completing an interactive tutorial, or participating in computer-assisted instruction.
• Attending a study group that is assigned by the school.
• Participating in an online discussion about academic matters.
• Initiating contact with a faculty member to ask a question about the academic subject studied in the course.

NOTE: Please be aware that add/drop period for the Summer and Winter sessions and quarter courses differs from the information above - see the current academic calendar for specific dates for each period.
