Withdrawals

To withdraw from graduate school at The University of Texas at Austin, the student must file a Withdrawal and Refund Request form, which may be obtained on our Forms page or by contacting your program graduate coordinator. The form explains refund policies.

All requests for withdrawal must be submitted to the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies via the Graduate Student Submission Portal by the last class day of the term.

Students should consult with their graduate adviser before submitting the request for withdrawal. The Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies will notify the student’s program when a withdrawal has been approved.

Students in a warning status because of failure to maintain a grade-point average of at least 3.0 may not withdraw without a petition from the graduate adviser and the approval of the graduate dean.

Withdrawals for international students require the consent of the International Office.
