Can I withdraw from a class after Late Registration and Add/Drop closes?


Yes. Withdrawal for each term begins after “Late Registration and Add/Drop” ends. Students may withdraw from a class and receive the notation of “W” until the date noted in the appropriate term’s “Academic Calendar.” (online at http://calendar.ucf.edu/).

A student may withdraw from courses using the myUCF portal at https://my.ucf.edu or by visiting the Registrar’s Office (MH 161), the college advising offices, or an area campus records office. Students may withdraw by fax at 407-823-5652. Faxed requests must be received by 11:59 p.m. on the last day to withdraw and must include the student’s identification number, the course(s) to be dropped and his or her signature.

Students also may send a written request to the Registrar’s Office by mail (to P.O. Box 160114, Orlando, FL 32816-0114). This letter must be time-stamped or postmarked before the published withdrawal deadline and must include the student’s identification number, the course(s) to be dropped and his or her signature.

Students seeking to withdraw in person must sign the request and must provide photo-identification.
The official date of withdrawal is the date the University receives the withdrawal request.
Requests received by mail are processed using the postmark as the official date of withdrawal. If you do not meet the withdrawal deadline, you must submit a “late withdraw” petition to the Office of Academic Services (MH 210). No withdrawal is permitted after the deadline except in extraordinary circumstances. For the complete policy, refer to ‘Withdrawal Policy’ within the “Academic Regulations and Procedures” chapter of the current Undergraduate Catalog.
