Withdraw from UNC
Withdraw from UNC
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. 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.
If you must leave, you are required to notify the University through the withdrawal process and then cease attendance in all classes and/or academic activities. You will be responsible for the tuition and fee charges associated with the class(es) and other charges related to attending the University based on the Withdrawal Schedule managed by the University Cashier.
- Has the term you wish to withdraw from already started?
-
As a current student no longer planning to attend and the term has not started yet: you may cancel your registration up until 11:59pm the day before classes begin.
As a new student no longer planning to attend: you may contact your Admissions Office for assistance with cancelling your first term at Carolina.

Academic Impacts
Here are academic impacts based on your academic program to keep in mind when considering a withdrawal from UNC.
- Your official transcript will reflect your withdrawal date for the term.
- Spring/Fall: If you withdraw during the first 8 weeks of class (i.e. before the drop deadline), grades are not required for any of your classes. If you receive less than six hours of F grades, the failing grades will not be recorded on your transcript and the semester will not count as one of your eight semesters in residence. If you receive six or more hours of F grades, the failing grades will be recorded on your transcript and the semester will count as one of your eight semesters in residence, in accordance with academic policy.
- Summer: If you are enrolled in less than 5 credit hours, grades are not required for any of your classes. If you receive less than five hours of F grades, the failing grades will not be recorded on your transcript. If you receive five or more hours of F grades, the failing grades will be recorded on your transcript. Your terms in residence will not be impacted as summer terms are not used for calculation.
- Your official transcript will reflect your withdrawal date for the term.
- If at the time of the withdrawal you are failing any course, a grade of F is assigned to your permanent record, and you become ineligible to continue at the University.
- Your official transcript will reflect your withdrawal date for the term.
