Withdrawal for unsatisfactory progress
Undergraduate students who have been placed on probation and whose progress is considered unsatisfactory may be required by their faculty to withdraw from the University for the remainder of the session.

- Speak with Student Awards and Financial Aid if you have a loan or scholarship.
