Academic Policies

Individual Course Withdrawal Policy
(effective on June 1, 1995)

 An undergraduate student is permitted five individual course withdrawals at IUP. Exceptions for unusual circumstances, if any, will be by letter of petition to the dean of the student's college, with appropriate documentation of the circumstances.

Individual Course Withdrawals may be processed only during the first two-thirds of the term. Instructors are required to inform students of their standing in class prior to this time. A student wishing to withdraw from a course after the deadline may request a waiver through the office of the dean of his/her college. Approval is contingent upon documentation of exceptional events of a catastrophic nature that could not have been anticipated.

At the time of implementation, each continuing student will have five additional individual course withdrawal options, without regard to the number of his/her previous course withdrawals.

Students may begin using the computer STAR system to withdraw from a course after the official drop/add period has closed. At the two-third point for each semester, students may no longer individually withdraw from individual classes.
