Office of the Provost

Dear UConn community,

I am sharing an update regarding withdrawals from classes. The University has extended the deadline for withdrawals through Friday, Dec. 11.

Undergraduate students who are interested in withdrawing from a class must seek the permission of an advisor to do so. Graduate students must seek the permission of their major advisor. This is a temporary extension to allow students maximum flexibility in managing the impact from COVID-19 to their academic record. Students who withdraw from a class at this point in the semester will have a “W” on their transcript for any such course. This is the same designation as would be applied any other semester when students drop classes after the second week of classes.

To begin the process, students must contact their advisor to discuss the impact of potentially withdrawing from a course. Students seeking to withdraw from more than one course, or students who have already dropped a course earlier this semester and wish to withdraw from additional courses, will need further approval from their school’s or college’s dean, or at regional campuses, the regional advising director/dean’s designee.

Students may access the withdrawal form through 11:59 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 11, at https://registrar.uconn.edu/forms/.

The Provost’s Office, the Registrar’s Office, the University Senate, Senate Scholastic Standards, and Undergraduate Student Government are also continuing discussions on the Pass/Fail deadline for undergraduate students. We will share further updates as soon as we have finalized details.

Sincerely,
Carl
