Spring 2019 Withdraw Approval Requests Get Scholarship Approval before Withdrawing from Classes
The last day to drop classes without a "W" grade on your academic transcript was Friday, February 8, 2019.  Therefore, moving forward, any withdraws to course load will result in a "W" grade if you choose to withdrawal from a course(s).

As indicated in students' scholarship agreement, all scholars must maintain 12+ credits (at least 6 credits for transfers) enrollment each semester in order to receive their scholarship. If a scholar falls below their required enrollment status for any reason without receiving approval from the Scholarship Review Committee, their scholarship will be discontinued indefinitely.

Prior to making any changes to their enrollment, scholars should request prior approval to withdraw from class(es) by submitting the Scholarship Withdrawal Request Form.  Failure to gain approval may result in scholarship discontinuation indefinitely.

The Merit Scholarship Unit reviews scholars’ academic standing each fall and spring semester to ensure they are maintaining their scholarship requirements. Recipients failing to meet these requirements will lose their scholarship and be notified by mail of their award discontinuation.

(Only first-semester freshmen are granted an automatic “warning” period if they fail to meet their terms).

Once a scholar has been discontinued from their merit scholarship, their award will not be reinstated regardless if the student is  able to meet the terms of their scholarship in a future semester. 

Scholars with extenuating circumstances may appeal their scholarship discontinuation by submitting a Scholarship Discontinuation Appeal.

The deadline for all Scholarship Discontinuation Appeals is 4:00PM on Thursday, January 25, 2018 (for Fall 2017 discontinuations only). 

Please note: If the appeal is denied or no appeal is submitted by the published deadline, the scholarship will be permanently discontinued and cannot be reinstated.
