Withdrawal Policies and Procedures

A student wishing to officially withdraw from a course has until the end of the 9^th week of enrollment to notify the University of the intent to withdrawal. The student will receive a “W” with no negative effect on his/her grade point average. If the student does not officially withdraw, the final grade will be calculated based on the grading procedure indicated in the specific course.

If the student is granted an extension, the withdrawal policy does not apply, and the final grade will be calculated as stated above on the extension end date. To officially withdraw from HUHS, the student must notify the school. The withdrawal procedure is as follows:

1. Students are required to notify the University of their intent to withdraw using the Withdrawal Form on the website. The withdrawal form has a section for the student to indicate of his/her intent to withdraw from a course, degree or diploma program. The official date of withdrawal will be the date the student submits the Withdrawal Form.
2. Refunds, if any, will be according to the stated University policy as outlined in Refund Policy.
3. All remaining balances, subject to any offset for refund, must be paid in full at the time of withdrawal.
4. The withdrawal will become official when the student receives final written notification by the Registrar. The student will receive a “W” for the final grade.

Official Withdrawal

A student who withdraws from one or more courses after the enrollment modification period (add/drop deadline) will be issued a grade of “W”. Course withdrawals will count as attempted credit hours when measuring the quantitative standards (pace of completion and maximum time frame) of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), but will not be included in the GPA. A student who withdraws from all attempted credit hours during the student’s first period of enrollment with HUHS will also obtain an undefined GPA. An undefined GPA is equivalent to a 0.00 GPA.

If a student wishes to officially withdraw from HUHS should complete the following steps:

1. Students are required to notify the University of their intent to withdraw using the Withdrawal Form on the website. The withdrawal form has a section for the student to indicate of his/her intent to withdraw from a course, degree or diploma program. The official date of withdrawal will be the date the school receives the student notification.
2. The Director of Financial Aid will send a Schedule Confirmation Letter to the student for any remaining modules in the term. The completed form must be returned to the Financial Aid Office or the student will be considered withdrawn from the term. The Director of Financial Aid will review the student’s financial aid and process any R2T4 calculations and will send any required notifications. Any required refunds will be returned to the federal financial aid programs prior to processing institutional refunds.
3. Institutional refunds, if any, will be calculated according to the stated University policy as outlined in the Financial Information section of the catalog.
4. All remaining balances, subject to any offset for refund, must be paid in full at the time of withdrawal.
5. The withdrawal will become official when the student receives final written notification by the Registrar. The student will receive a “W” for the final grade.

Unofficial/Institutional Withdrawal

Students in violation of the Attendance policy will be institutionally withdrawn from the course. See the Attendance policy at https://www.huhs.edu/attendance-policy/ for further details.

If a student chooses not to attend the first week, he/she will be institutionally withdrawn from the course or if at any point during the module a student fails to submit assignments for more than 14 consecutive days, the student will be institutionally withdrawn. The procedure is as follows:

1. The Registrar will complete the Institutional Withdrawal Form, notify the student, and notify the Director of Financial Aid and Bursar.
2. The Director of Financial Aid will send a Schedule Confirmation Letter to the student for any remaining modules in the term. The completed form must be returned to the Financial Aid Office or the student will be considered withdrawn from the term. The Director of Financial Aid will review the student’s financial aid and process any R2T4 calculations and will send any required notifications. Any required refunds will be returned to the federal financial aid programs prior to processing institutional refunds.
3. Institutional refunds, if any, will be calculated according to the stated University policy as outlined in the Financial Information section of the catalog.
4. All remaining balances, subject to any offset for refund, must be paid in full at the time of withdrawal.
5. The student who is institutionally withdrawn from a course will receive a “WF” for the final grade. For the purpose of Satisfactory Academic Progress evaluations, a “WF” will be counted as 0 GPA points in the GPA calculation; additionally, a “WF” will impact both pace of completion and maximum timeframe calculations.
