Military Withdrawal

If you are called to active military duty during a quarter in which you are registered, you may either request to be withdrawn or request to receive credit or grades. Note: the Military Withdrawal Policy does not apply to students who voluntarily enlist.

Withdrawals before the end of the 7th week of the quarter

If you request to be withdrawn before the end of the 7th week of the quarter you may receive a full refund, if tuition and fees have been paid. You do not have the option of receiving credit or grades when withdrawing before the end of the 7th week of the quarter. Please email the Office of the Registrar (uwbreg@uw.edu) for more information.

Withdrawals after the end of the 7th week of the quarter

If you withdraw after the end of the 7th week of the quarter, you may elect to use the above procedure and withdraw without earning credit but getting a full refund, or you may elect to receive credit and grades. If you choose to receive credit you may not receive a refund.

If you elect to receive credit or grades, you must email the Office of the Registrar (uwbreg@uw.edu). The Office of the Registrar will contact each of the your instructors requesting grades. You may elect to have numeric grades recorded as by the instructor, or to have them recorded as CR/NC (credit or no credit).
