Home » About UH Hilo » Academic Regulations » Complete Withdrawal

Note: Once classes begin, a student cannot withdraw from his/her last or only class at the home institution over MyUH. UH Hilo students who wish to withdraw from all UH Hilo classes should obtain a Complete Withdrawal form from the Office of the Registrar or download from: hilo.hawaii.edu/registrar/forms.php and follow official procedures.

Students who completely withdraw before the end of the third week of instruction will have noclasses included as part of their academic record. Students who completely withdraw after the third week of instruction will receive a “W” for each of the courses in progress at the time of withdrawal.

Students may completely withdraw through the last day of instruction.

A student who completely withdraws and wishes to return for any subsequent semester may be required to submit an admissions application for re-admission. Students who return to UH Hilo after a single semester break (excluding summer) will be eligible to graduate under the requirements in force when they first entered UH Hilo or any campus of the UH System. Students who stop out for more than one semester will be required to fulfill the requirements in force when they return to UH Hilo.

Students may petition the Dean of their College for an approved leave of absence for unusual circumstances beyond the student’s control; an approved leave of absence will allow a student to use the catalog in force when s/he entered UH Hilo or another UH System campus with a break of more than one semester.

A student who completely withdrawals without an approved Leave of Absence must reapply for admissions. The student may be required to fulfill the requirements in force upon return to UH Hilo.
