Withdrawals

    If you wish to drop ALL your courses and withdraw from the term after paying tuition and fees:

    • You must submit a withdrawal application before 5 p.m. on the last day of instruction.
    • Do not drop any of your courses. Your classes will be dropped for you automatically during the withdrawal process.
    • Do not stop payment on the check used to pay tuition and fees instead of filing the withdrawal application.
    • To drop one course, use WebReg or Enrollment Exceptions instead. Do not use the withdrawal process.

    Refunds

    Refunds are based on schedules approved by the UC Regents which are published in the UCI General Catalogue.

    The Student Health Insurance Fee is refundable only when the withdrawal application is submitted prior to the first day of the term. Generally, this is prior to the first day of instruction. Refer to the Quarterly Academic Calendar for dates.

    Undergraduate and graduate students who withdraw beginning the first day of the applicable term and thereafter will remain covered under the Student Health Insurance Plan for the remainder of the term. However, withdrawn students are not eligible to receive services at the Student Health Center. They will be referred to an outside community provider near their residence that is in-network with the UC SHIP plan.

    Late service charges are nonrefundable.

    New Undergraduate Students and New Graduate Students
    Prior to and including the first day of instruction, fees are refunded in full, less the nonrefundable $250 Statement of Intent to Register deposit, and the Student Health Insurance Fee as indicated above. On the second day of instruction and after, the Schedule of Refunds is applied to the balance of registration fees paid. Refer to the Standard Refund Schedule below for refund percentages. New students receiving Federal Financial Aid follow a different refund schedule, as shown in the second schedule.

    Continuing Undergraduate and Continuing Graduate Students
    Prior to and including the first day of instruction, fees are refunded in full, less a $10 service charge and the Student Health Insurance Fees as indicated above. On the second day of instruction and after, the Schedule of Refunds is applied to the balance of registration fees paid. Refer to the Standard Refund Schedule below for refund percentages.

    How Your Withdrawal will be Recorded on Your Transcript

    If your withdrawal application is submitted prior to the beginning of the term, no record will appear on your transcript for that term.

    If your withdrawal application is submitted after the term has begun, "Withdrew H.D. Granted" will be noted on your transcript along with the effective date of your withdrawal. (H.D. stands for Honorable Dismissal.)

    After the end of the sixth week of instruction, courses will remain permanently on your transcript and will be marked with a "W" (Withdrawal) notation. A "W" carries no grade points and is not used in the calculation of your grade point average (GPA).

    Withdrawals for Student Housing Purposes

    Once your withdrawal is approved, you will receive an email confirmation sent to your UCI email address. Students who live on campus may forward that confirmation email to the Student Housing Account Counselor to document your withdrawal from the University. Please visit the Student Housing website for more information about the housing contract cancellation process.
