Withdrawal Procedures


At times it becomes necessary for students to withdraw from a class. Withdrawal requests must be in writing, NOTIFYING THE INSTRUCTOR IS NOT SUFFICIENT. All withdrawal requests must be in writing and submitted by mail, fax, or your ECU email account, to the Division of Continuing Studies.

Undergraduate
A student may withdraw from a course, or courses, without a grade during the first thirty class days, or equivalent, in the semester. Course drops done between the drop/add period and the last day to drop term-length courses without a grade will be charged against the student's course drop allocation. In pursuit of a degree at East Carolina University, an undergraduate student may drop up to four courses (outside the schedule change period). The number of course drops is prorated on the student's credit hours (both ECU and transferred) at the time of the student's initial matriculation. See http://www.ecu.edu/cs-acad/registrar/Drop.cfm. After this prescribed period, withdrawals will be permitted for only the most urgent and compelling reasons. All withdrawal requests must be in writing and submitted by mail, fax, or your ECU email account, to the Division of Continuing Studies.

Graduate
Students may withdraw from a class without penalty of failure up to two weeks prior to the final scheduled session.  A student who drops acourse in the last two weeks will receive a final grade of "F" unless he/she has permission from the Director of Division of Continuing Studies to drop for medical reasons or other justification. All withdrawal requests must be in writing and submitted by mail, fax, or your ECU email account, to the Division of Continuing Studies.
