Course and Term Withdrawal

Here are some important things you should consider before withdrawing from a course or term.

Course withdrawal

  • Consider how withdrawing may impact your financial aid and the time it takes to complete your degree. 
  • If you could complete the course with the required minimum grade, consider staying in it! Talk to your instructor and academic advisor about the best option for you. 
  • The Learning Center has some great resources online to help you prepare for finals. 
  • If you decide to withdraw from one or more courses (but not all courses), you will do this in myZou.

Term withdrawal

  • If you decide to withdraw from the term you will need to switch to term withdrawal. To begin the process, visit the University Registrar to log in. 

Remember your advisor is here to help you after the withdrawal deadline! Schedule a meeting with your adviser to discuss your semester schedule, academic plan, academic recovery strategies, and more.
