DROP ALL CLASSES
(FORMERLY KNOWN IN THE ud AS "TOTAL WITHDRAWAL")(OFFICIALLY KNOWN AS "WITHDRAW FROM ALL SUBJECTS")
To Drop All Classes means you are choosing to completely withdraw from a term (including any partial-term courses you may have already completed). You may not be reinstated for a term after you have completed a Total Withdrawal for that term.
You do not give up your admission to Indiana University Bloomington or your eligibility to enroll in any future terms.
If you Drop All Classes before the Auto-W Deadlines of a term, notations of “W” (withdrawn) for each class will be automatically recorded on your Indiana University transcript. If you Drop All Classes after the Auto-W Deadlines of a term, each instructor of each class will decide whether to assign a “W” or a grade of “F” to your Indiana University transcript.
There is no fee to Drop All Classes.
We advise you to discuss the risks and the benefits, your concerns and questions, and your options with your assigned University Division (or University Division-Affiliated) Academic Advisor before you make the decision to Drop All Classes.
DROP ALL CLASSES PROCEDURES
If you choose to Drop All Classes before the end of the first week of classes in a term, you should access the registration system through your Student Center and drop each of your enrolled classes. For procedural or technical questions about the registration system, please refer to the Enrollment and Student Academic Information Bulletin, or the Office of the Registrar.
If you choose to Drop All Classes after the first week of classes, you must meet with your assigned University Division (or University Division-Affiliated) Academic Advisor, or come to University Division Academic Advising in Maxwell Hall 101 at any time during normal business hours to meet with any available UD Academic Advisor to complete the Withdrawal From All Subjects form. EXCEPTION: International students must go to the Office of International Services in Franklin Hall 306 to complete the Withdrawal From All Subjects form. EXCEPTION: Students who must Drop All Classes due to military obligations must go to the Office of Veteran Support Services.
If you are not in Bloomington, or are otherwise physically incapable of coming to Maxwell Hall or meeting with your assigned academic advisor, you may fax a Drop All Classes request to us instead.. Please write a simple memo, indicating your decision to withdraw from all classes for the current term. Your memo must include your full name, your UID, your current mailing address, your telephone number and your signature. Requests missing any one of these items will not be processed.

DROP ALL CLASSES REMINDERS
GRADES: If you Drop All Classes after any of the Auto-W Deadlines of a term, each instructor will decide whether to assign a “W” or a grade of “F” to your Indiana University transcript. It is in your best interests, after an Auto-W Deadline, to talk with each instructor BEFORE you Drop All Classes so you know if they are willing to award you a grade or a W. Some instructors may request documentation of ‘extended illness or equivalent distress’ before they will allow a W. It is also in your best interests to contact instructors during, or just before Finals Week to remind them of their agreement with you as the final grade rosters do not indicate your withdrawal to the instructor.
HOUSING: Generally, Residential Programs and Services (RPS) expects students to remain enrolled in a minimum of 3 credit hours to be eligible for on-campus housing and to move out within 24-48 hours of completing a Drop All Classes. If you live in a residence hall or in apartment housing, contact your Residence Manager to learn about your housing options. Contact the RPS Assignments Office or Apartment Assignment Office to cancel housing and meal contracts.
FINANCIAL AID: If you receive any type of financial aid (loans, grants, work study, scholarships, etc.) you should contact the Office of Student Financial Assistance to learn about ending aid, delaying aid, transferring aid, repaying aid, or future eligibility for aid.

BURSAR: Read your Account Summary in your Student Center to be sure your bills are paid. Contact the Office of the Bursar if you have any questions.
REFUNDS: If you Drop All Classes within a refund period, you may expect your refund to be credited to your account or mailed to your permanent address within four to six weeks. For questions, contact the Office of the Bursar. If you wish to petition for a post-deadline refund, you may complete and submit the Fee Policy Appeal Form.
COMPUTER ACCOUNTS: If you do not enroll for more than one term, all your accounts will be disabled sometime in the next term. Contact University Information Technology Services (UITS) for details. You may reactivate your accounts after you enroll again in a future term.
FUTURE ENROLLMENT: If you plan to ‘stop out’ for only the current term, you will be able to enroll for the next term as if you never left. Plan for next term, as usual. Keep your assigned Enrollment Appointment, as usual. If you choose to ‘stop out’ for more than one term, your records will go to an inactive status and no future enrollment appointment will be set for you. When you choose to return, complete the Returning Students Form first to prepare to enroll for a future term. Contact University Division Records if you have any questions.
ACADEMIC ADVISING: Please feel free to remain in contact with your assigned University Division (or University Division-Affiliated) Academic Advisor. You may also contact UD Academic Advising at udivhelp@indiana.edu or 812-855-6768, Option 1.
HOLDS: If you have any Holds on your record, you may not be able to receive certain University services, or wrap up the business of withdrawing, as indicated in these reminders, or allowed to enroll in future terms. In your Student Center, in the box at the right of the screen, labeled “Holds”, click on the details of each Hold to learn which office placed the Hold, and how to contact that office to have the Hold removed from your record.
