Withdrawal from the University

It is the obligation of the student to initiate and complete the notification of withdrawal in a timely manner and in accordance with university policy. Untimely or incomplete withdrawal may adversely affect a student’s balance with Reinhardt University, or his or her financial aid eligibility at other institutions. A third party (parent, guardian, relative, friend, coach, significant other, etc.) may not initiate or complete a withdrawal on behalf of the student.

If a student in a graduate program wishes to withdraw from courses before the end of the semester, he or she must: 

  • Notify his or her advisor that he or she wishes to withdraw 
  • Contact the Office of Financial Aid to determine how withdrawing will impact his or her financial aid. 
  • Submit a Withdrawal Form via SoftdocsEtrieve to the Registrar’s Office for processing. The Business Office and the Office of Financial Aid will be notified as soon as your withdrawal is processed by the Registrar. Please allow 2-5 days for processing. Paper withdrawal forms are no longer accepted. 

If a student in a graduate program wishes to withdraw from the University after the semester has ended, he or she must: 

  • Submit a Withdrawal Form via SoftdocsEtrieve to the Registrar’s Office for processing. The Business Office and the Office of Financial Aid will be notified as soon as your withdrawal is processed by the Registrar. Please allow 2-5 days for processing. Paper withdrawal forms are no longer accepted. 
  • Students are obligated to settle all financial obligations to the University.
  • Students who decide to return after a withdrawal is processed must go through the readmission process through the Office of Admissions. Academic transcripts are not automatically issued to withdrawing students; withdrawing students who wish to request a transcript must do so in the process outlined under the Academic Policies and Procedures section of this catalog.
