A student who wishes to un-enroll from all courses at MSU must come to the Student Affairs Office located in the Clark Student Center, room 108, to fill out a withdrawal slip. The student will need to bring his/her MSU I.D. Card at the time of withdrawal. Distance education students may contact the Student Affairs Office via phone to withdraw but will be required to send written consent via email or fax. Once the withdrawal slip has been completed and signed by the student, copies are distributed to the Registrar’s Office, Business Office, and Financial Aid Office. Students unable to withdraw themselves from MSU (due to medical reasons, etc) may only be withdrawn by someone who has legal power of attorney for the student.
Only students withdrawing before the official first class of the term will receive a 100% refund of tuition and fees. Starting the first day of classes, the refund rate decreases to 80%.
