Undergraduate students are required to meet with a success advocate in the Center for Academic Navigation and Success. Virtual appointments are available Monday-Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
If you have already left the University but did not complete the withdrawal process before your departure, please schedule a virtual appointment or email the Center for Academic Navigation and Success at success@miami.edu to begin the withdrawal process. Your withdrawal will not be finalized until an exit interview is completed.
If you were unable to attend classes due to a serious accident or illness, and this prevented you from notifying the University of your withdrawal in a timely manner, a Withdrawal Date Appeal Form can be submitted for consideration by an Appeals Committee. Appeals are submitted AFTER completing the official withdrawal process above and must include supporting documentation as to what prevented timely notification. All appeals must be submitted within 30 calendar days of the official withdrawal date established with the Center for Academic Navigation and Success or if the appeal is being submitted for a semester that has already completed, it must be submitted within 30 calendar days of the last day of the end of the semester in question.
If you need to withdraw from the university as a result of being called to active duty in the United States military, please review the military withdrawal policy by visiting the Military Withdrawal Information page.
If you withdraw from the University but choose to return within one calendar year, and you have continued to meet the requirements of your scholarship, then your merit scholarship will be waiting for you here. Contact the Center for Academic Navigation and Success to begin the process of readmission.
*Frost School of Music students will need to reaudition after one semester away from the University.
