College Withdrawal Process

A student pursues a College Withdrawal when withdrawing from the College as a student with no plan to return. If a student pursues a college withdrawal during a semester, then the student is also withdrawing from all courses that semester. Students may also pursue this process at the end of a semester without withdrawing from courses.  

If you are considering withdrawing or transferring and haven't decided, please schedule a meeting with Melissa Campbell to discuss your experience and brainstorm strategies and solutions to improve your experience at Rhodes.
