Withdrawal from Courses

Students who wish to reduce their course load, after the deadline for dropping the course, must officially withdraw from the course. Graduate Level students require approval from the Dean of Education and Professional Studies. NOTE: Full-time students who wish to withdraw from ALL of their courses must follow the process to Withdraw from the University. Students should use their Eastern Email and send the following information to their academic advisor for each course they wish to withdraw from. 

Name, ID Number

Class, Major

Phone Number

Withdraw From: Subject, Course Number, Section, Title, Credits

Instructor

Reason for Withdrawal

The Registrar’s Office will process your request and respond via Eastern email to both you and your advisor.

If for some reason you are unable to access your Eastern email account you may fill out the Withdrawal from a Course Form, print it, sign it and then email it to your advisor asking that they forward their approval to registrar@easternct.edu.

The "W" grade will be recorded on the student's permanent transcript but will not be used in calculating the grade point average. Due to immigration regulations international students should consult with the coordinator of international programs prior to withdrawing from a course.

PLEASE NOTE: Withdrawing from a course does not change enrollment status, however, it may affect a student’s eligibility for financial aid, participation in intercollegiate athletics, health insurance, etc. If you receive financial aid, please speak with the Financial Aid Office, as well as other relevant offices, about the impact of withdrawal.

The course withdrawal deadline for full-semester and less than full-semester courses can be found on the Dates and Deadlines page.

If students have not withdrawn officially from a course before the deadline, the course will appear on their academic record with the appropriate grade assigned.
