In rare circumstances after the census date, a student* in conjunction with their advisor may determine that it is not in their best interest to maintain their current course load, but they wish to remain enrolled in some courses. After the census date, the only routinely permissible changes of registration are withdrawals from an individual course. Withdrawing from individual courses could have financial implications and could result in students being off track to complete their program and/or certification requirements. Students are encouraged to consult with their advisor and Student Financial Services before requesting to withdraw from an individual course. Students can request to withdraw from an individual course by consulting with their advisors and emailing support@relay.edu. Students requesting to withdraw from individual courses will receive a “W” grade for the individual course. Although students would have the option to request a withdrawal from multiple individual courses in one term, students must remain enrolled in at least one course of the term. Students who withdraw from a course after the census date would still be charged for the course. If a student intends to withdraw from all of their courses, the student should consider completing the withdrawal form or requesting a leave of absence.
Students should see Census Dates and Billing Due Dates and Refunds for information regarding financial implications for withdrawing from individual courses. Students must request to withdraw from a course by the last day of the term in which they are registered in the course.
Procedure

- Students request to withdraw from an individual course by reaching out to their advisor via support@relay.edu indicating which course(s) they would like to withdraw from
- Advisor will connect with the student to confirm impact from AmeriCorps, Student Financial Services, Billing, and Certification before the withdrawal is finalized
