Withdrawals or Dropped Classes

Official withdrawal from a class must occur no later than 14 days before the end of the session. You can officially withdraw from a course in any of the following ways:

Via the Web at https://my.umuc.edu or by phone via IRIS at 800-584-9413.
By completing a withdrawal form at the Information Desk in the Student and Faculty Services Center in Adelphi. The withdrawal becomes effective on the date the form is filed.
By requesting in writing to withdraw from a course or courses. Withdrawal requests should be mailed to UMUC, Registration, 3501 University Boulevard East, Adelphi, MD 20783.

In all cases, you should should maintain a copy of the transaction for your records.

If you officially withdraw from a course, you will receive a grade of "W." The postmark on the envelope will be the official date of withdrawal. Because UMUC can honor only withdrawal requests actually received, it is recommended that you ask for a return receipt from the post office to ensure that delivery of the withdrawal request is acknowledged.

Withdrawals cannot be accepted verbally over the telephone. Failure to withdraw in the required manner will result in the forfeiture of any refund and may result in a failing grade.

Stopping payment on checks for registration fees or not paying at registration does not constitute an official withdrawal or relieve you of your financial obligation to UMUC. Never attending or ceasing to attend classes does not constitute a withdrawal.
