It is the obligation of the student to initiate and complete withdrawal paperwork in a timely manner and in accordance to 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 main campus student wishes to withdraw from all courses before the end of the semester, he or she must:
- Submit a Withdrawal Form via Softdocs Etrieve to the Registrar’s Office for processing. The Business Office, the Office of Financial Aid, the Office of Student Affairs, Public Safety, the Athletic Dept, and Res Life will be notified as soon as the withdrawal is processed by Registrar. Please allow 2-5 days for processing. Paper withdrawal forms are no longer accepted.
- Refunds due to a withdrawal from Reinhardt University are processed according to the submission date and the refund policies listed in this catalog.
- Students who complete the appropriate paperwork and withdraw before midterm of the respective term or sub-term of a course will receive a grade of W.
- Students who cease attending the university without completing the appropriate paperwork or who initiate a withdrawal after the published deadline for the last date to withdraw without penalty will receive a grade of F.

- Online students can also be withdrawn from the university due to lack of participation in their program. Attention should be given to the course syllabus for course attendance expectations.
