Withdraw from classes or the University before midterm deadline
(The midterm of the term is the deadline for students
to withdraw from classes/university.)
There are two methods for a student to withdraw completely from
the university before the semester midterm date.
- Go online to the EKU Student Web (www.online.eku.edu)
and withdraw from each individual class in which the student is currently
registered for. Students are welcome to perform this activity at the
Registration Center where there is staff available to help.
- Login and go to Add/Drop Classes to Drop or Withdraw from
classes.
- For
EACH registered class select DROP or WD course--W.
(During the first half of the term one of these selections will be available).
- Click
the button Submit Changes. Under "Status," verify
that the word "Registered" has been replaced with "Dropped"
or "WD course". Also, be sure that Credit Hours are "0.0
hours".
-
This method is best for the student as it allows the student to immediately
see that they are withdrawn (they will see the credit hours of the class
turn to zero and a message that says they are withdrawn.) This action
is immediate and any tuition refunds are effective the moment the student
clicks the Submit Change button.
-
If the student does not have access to a computer, or has HOLDS on their
record that prevent the student from changing their registration, then the
student must submit a written request to withdraw from the university. The
letter may be mailed, faxed, or hand delivered. E-mails are NOT acceptable.
-
The letter should be addressed to: EKU Registrar, SSB CPO58, 521 Lancaster
Ave., Richmond, KY 40475-3158 (FAX Number: 859-622-6599).
-
The
letter must include the following information:
- Student
name and student EKU I.D. number
-
A statement that the student wishes to withdraw completely from the
university.
-
Student's SIGNATURE (absolutely mandatory), and the DATE.
- If it is a petition for late withdraw then you must include
justification and documentation for the withdrawal (see p. 47 in the
catalog
[pdf file] for deadlines and details).
-
The withdrawal will be effective as of the POSTMARK DATE ON THE LETTER
or, when faxed or hand delivered, the DAY THE LETTER IS RECEIVED
by the Registrar.
-
Any refund will be calculated as of the withdrawal effective date (see
c. above).
If there are any problems or questions, call the Registrar's Office
at (859) 622-2260.
Withdraw from classes or the University after midterm deadline
After midterm a student must petition the EKU Withdrawal Committee
for approval to withdraw, and follow procedure 2 to submit a petition for late
withdrawal. See EKU
Catalog on p. 47 for details.)
Military Withdrawals
A student activated (not just enlisting) by the
military should send a letter requesting a withdrawal and enclose a copy of
the activation notification. The Office of the Registrar staff will process
the withdrawal which also triggers a 100% refund or reduction of tuition. The
address is shown under 2.a above. Thank you for serving.
