Total Withdrawal:  Withdrawal from ALL Classes

 The procedure for Total Withdrawal (withdrawal from ALL classes) is different from the Drop procedure outlined above and may be completed before a term begins or at any time during a term.

As a University Division student you are advised to discuss the risks and the benefits, your concerns, and your options with your assigned University Division (or University Division-Affiliated) Academic Advisor before you make the decision to complete a Total Withdrawal.

If you decide to complete a Total Withdrawal before the first week of classes of a term has ended, you may access the registration system through the OneStart portal.  In the “Registration and Classes” channel, in the “Classes” column at the right, click on the “Drop/Add Classes” link.  From the intervening menu page, select the appropriate time period.  Use the registration system as you did when you first enrolled for the term to drop each of your classes individually.  For procedural or technical questions or problems, please refer to the Enrollment and Student Academic Information Bulletin, or theOffice of the Registrar (hyperlink).  As an alternative, you may call (812) 855-6768 or talk with the receptionist in the University Division Academic Advising Services Office in Maxwell Hall 101 (during normal business hours) to arrange for a walk-in appointment to complete your Total Withdrawal paperwork.

International students must go to International Services in Franklin Hall 306 to initiate a Total Withdrawal.

If you complete a Total Withdrawal before the Auto-W Deadlines of a term, notations of “W” (signifying withdrawn) will be automatically recorded on your Final Grade Report and your Indiana University transcript.  If you complete a Total Withdrawal after the Auto-W Deadlines of a term, each instructor will make the final decision of whether to assign a “W” or a grade of “F” to your Final Grade Report and your Indiana University transcript.  There is no fee for a Total Withdrawal.
