Student's Responsibility
It is solely your responsibility to initiate University withdrawal by submitting a form to your student affairs office. Neither notification of the course instructor nor discontinuing class attendance is sufficient. The date on which you dropped or withdrew from all courses is entered on Minerva and is the official date of withdrawal, even if you had stopped attending lectures earlier.
