Withdrawing
Withdrawing from Bradley University during a semester due to:
- Medical (including mental health) reason
- Taking a break/re-evaluating career decision
- Transferring to another school
If a student needs to withdraw from all classes during a semester or does not plan to enroll for the next semester, they must meet with Student Support Services or with the appropriate designee. Student Support Services can assist students wishing to explore academic options other than a complete withdrawal. If a feasible solution cannot be found, the appropriate paperwork for withdrawal will be initiated through Student Support Services in 101-103 Sisson Hall. A checklist of withdrawal items will be discussed. These include housing, financial assistance, billing, academic recording, and book/iPad return.
A student may drop a class at any time online using myBradley prior to the last day to drop classes. Check the Academic Calendar for specific drop dates.
If an undergraduate student desires to drop all of their classes for the semester after the third week of the semester and before the 12th week of the semester, they must meet with Student Support Services to receive an honorable withdrawal. After the 12th week, the student must meet with Student Support Services and the Dean (or designee) or the student’s college must also review and approve the withdrawal request.
Graduate students should contact Student Support Services to request a withdrawal.
The withdrawal date (which is critical for the billing of the semester tuition) will be dated the day in which the student agrees and signs the withdrawal request form (except in the case of hospitalization).
When a student withdraws, they will no longer be able to participate in Bradley University activities or utilize Bradley University resources. Students living in residence halls must speak with housing to determine a move out plan.
For specific impact that dropping a class or withdrawing from the semester will have on financial assistance, the student must consult with the Financial Aid Office in Swords Hall.
An appointment with Student Support Services can be made by calling (309) 677- 3910 or going to Sisson Hall room 101-103.
Exit Interview when not returning to Bradley University for the next semester:
During the semester, if a student decides to leave Bradley University for any reason, they should contact Student Support Services. An exit interview will be conducted either in person or via email by calling (309) 677-3910. The exit interview will only take a couple of minutes.
NOTE: A withdrawal or exit interview does NOT hold a student’s place at the University, nor their financial aid. You must reapply for both, if appropriate, in order to return.
