Academic Assistance
Withdrawing from ALL Classes
Withdrawing from all classes will terminate your current enrollment at Indiana University and may have consequences on your academic progress, financial aid or scholarship eligibility, RPS contract, and other areas related to your student status. For these reasons, all students attending IU Bloomington (except students in University Division, International Students, and Law Students) who wish to withdraw from all classes after the first week of the semester must do so through our office and are strongly encouraged to speak with an advocate before going through this process.
If you wish to drop selected courses, but remain enrolled in some of your courses, do not withdraw from all subjects. Please contact your academic advisor for more information about how to drop specific courses.
Prior to and during the first week of the semester, students can drop classes online using the Register & Drop/Add link on the Student Center (accessible through One.IU). Contact Student Central on Union for assistance with this.
