Withdrawing from the University

Should it be necessary for a student to withdraw from the University, they must submit a Withdraw from Elmhurst University request found on the Elmhurst University portal. All courses will not be dropped until this form is submitted. The effective date of withdrawal is determined by the date that the student submits the form. After the end of 10th week, withdrawal forms will not be processed until the end of the term.

Students withdrawing from the University will be responsible for all financial obligations incurred. The University may be required to return a portion or all of the funding for those students receiving federal and/or state aid. The timing of a student’s withdrawal will impact the amount of tuition charged and could impact the balance due.

New students who have registered for classes but who have withdrawn from all their courses prior to the sixth day of class in the Fall or Spring terms may not take a leave of absence. They should contact the Office of Admission to discuss deferring their admission.
