MSW Student Guide
Section 1.02.01: Withdrawing from All Classes
Withdrawing from all classes, including field education and independent study, in a given term cannot be done via Wolverine Access. If, after completing registration, a student is no longer able or no longer intending to remain enrolled, the student must complete the following steps to disenroll:
1. Meet with the on-campus program manager or online program manager to discuss how course withdrawal will impact their course completion schedule.
2. Contact the Office of Student Services and Enrollment Management (https://ssw.umich.edu/r/student-services-contacts ) to meet with the assistant dean for enrollment management or director for student services to discuss the withdrawal process, re-application requirements, and financial aid implications.
2. Complete the Intent to Withdraw form (https://ssw.umich.edu/r/withdrawal-intent-form ) and submit it to the School of Social Work Registrar’s Office. This form will allow students to state their future plan for completing the MSW degree. Students should refer to volume 1, section 2.07 Leave from the MSW Program for more information about taking a leave of absence. If the drop/add deadline (https://ro.umich.edu/calendars ) for a semester is approaching a student should submit the Intent to Withdraw form prior to meeting with program officials.
3. Whenever possible, students in field placement should notify their field faculty and field supervisor (at the earliest date possible) of the leave.
If the student withdraws/disenrolls prior to the first day of university classes, the student simply needs to contact the university Office of the Registrar and the School of Social Work registrar. The Intent to Withdraw form may be necessary.
Note: Students may not withdraw or disenroll from a term without approval from the MSW program director if there are fewer than 30 calendar days left until the end of the term or after the term is completed (see volume 1, section 2.03 Policy and Procedures for Retroactive Withdrawals). It is vital to note that students in the MSW programs are required to be enrolled in at least four (4) credits to be able to receive federal funding.
Students are still required to pay the registration fee and are subject to a disenrollment fee if withdrawal takes place once university classes have begun.
