Withdrawing from PLU
Withdrawing from all your classes prior to the start of the semester will result in a total cancellation of university charges and financial aid for the term. For the fall and spring semesters, if you withdraw on or before the tenth day of class, you will receive a 100% refund of tuition and fees (effective starting fall 2022). If you withdraw after the tenth day of class, your tuition charge will be prorated based on your date of withdrawal. However, once more than 60% of the semester has elapsed, there is no tuition refund or cancellation of any financial aid. To officially withdrawal from PLU, you must complete a withdrawal form, which can be found in the Documents section of the Center for Student Success website.
If you withdraw before more than 60% of the semester has elapsed, all PLU gift aid for the term will be canceled. Furthermore, your federal student aid will be prorated based on your date of withdrawal or last date of attendance. Students who receive the Washington College Grant and Washington College Bound Scholarship can keep their full awards for the semester as long as they attend at least one day of each course on which their award amount is based.
