Withdrawal

Please note that the information below applies only to Fall and Spring semesters. Visit MyUH or see the Schedule of Classes for complete information regarding withdrawal.

For information on withdrawal during the summer session, contact the Outreach College.


Withdrawal After the Drop Period

After the last day to drop, course withdrawals require written approvals from the course instructor, the graduate chair, and the Graduate Division. Graduate assistants and recipients of achievement scholarships need additional approval from Graduate Fellowships and Scholarships Office. International students whose course load fall below full-time after the course withdrawal must report to the International Student Services.

After the ninth week of the semester, course withdrawals are permitted only for extenuating circumstances beyond the student's control.


Complete Withdrawal

  • Before the semester begins — To withdraw completely before the semester begins, cancel registration through MyUH.
  • After the semester begins — To withdraw completely after the semester begins, fill out a Complete Withdrawal Form (available at the Graduate Records Office) and submit it to the Cashier's Office. Complete withdrawal after the semester begins must be done in person.

A student who completely withdraws needs to apply for readmission in order to resume studies at UHM. For more information, see Admissions < Readmission.


Hardship Withdrawal

A student who needs to leave the university at any time during the semester due to a documented case of hardship may file for a hardship withdrawal or a leave of absence. A student who left the university in a case of emergency may file for a hardship withdrawal even if he or she is physically away from Honolulu. For more information, contact the Graduate Records Office.
