Withdrawal From Classes
Partial Withdrawal from Classes
Partially dropping/withdrawing from a class or classes can negatively affect your eligibility to keep a portion or all of the funds awarded and/or disbursed.
Complete Withdrawal from Classes
Completely withdrawing from ALL classes can negatively affect your eligibility to keep a portion or all of the financial aid funds disbursed. Withdrawing (officially or unofficially) could result in having to repay all or a portion of the financial aid awards back to Wayne State University. You can officially withdraw from classes through Pipeline or unofficially by ceasing to attend.
You are encouraged to meet with your professors, academic advisor and utilize the tutorial services available before withdrawing from WSU. We strongly encourage you to meet with a financial aid advisor to discuss the effect on your financial aid of withdrawing from all classes, before making the decision to withdraw.
After officially withdrawing from all classes, you must immediately notify the Financial Aid Office of your enrollment status change.
