A cancellation results in removal of all enrollments for the term and no record of enrollment appears on your official transcript. The University will only cancel registration for students who have not attended any classes in a term. A withdrawal occurs when you, as an enrolled student, decide you must leave the University in a given term once the term begins and you have attended or participated in at least one class.
As a current student in your academic program at UNC you may request to cancel your registration prior to the first day of classes. Please review the following policy for details prior to submitting your term cancellation request.
Contact your Admissions Office to initiate a term cancellation request as a new student.
Since you have attended at least one class this term you are not eligible to receive a term cancellation. Review the withdrawal policy to learn about discontinuing your enrollment for the term.
You are required to request a cancellation of your registration through your Academic Advisor or Academic Dean’s Office. Please note you will need to provide verification of non-attendance from each professor.
Current students may request a registration cancellation prior to the first day of classes by logging into the form with their UNC-Chapel Hill onyen login credentials. New students are required to cancel their first term through their Admissions Office.
The term cancellation form is disabled after the deadline of 11:59pm the day before classes begin. You may still request a term cancellation as long as you have not attended any classes. Contact your Academic Advisor or Academic Dean’s Office to initiate your request. Please note you will need to provide verification of non-attendance from each professor before approval may be considered.
Review the directions and term deadlines for readmission to your academic program in advance to prepare for your return to campus. Questions about this process should be directed to your respective Admissions Office. We look forward to having you back!
