In order for us to be in compliance with federal regulations and reporting requirements, some recent changes in definitions and procedures have been made which impact students planning to withdraw from the university or take a leave of absence. This applies to all student populations (traditional undergraduate, graduate and adult degree programs). Please review the following:

Who is a student? Someone who is registered for any credit hours in a given term and who has completed their “Enrollment Confirmation” checklist item for that term in their MyGFU portal. (If the “Enrollment Confirmation” checklist item has not been completed by the student by the 10th day of classes, they are not officially considered a student for that term and their schedule will be dropped.)

How do I withdraw? To officially cease enrollment at George Fox University either during or at the end of a semester/enrollment period, you must notify the registrar’s office of your departure via the online Withdrawal/Leave of Absence form. Any other means of communication to the university is not considered official notification. The official withdrawal date is the date on which you submit the online Withdrawal/Leave of Absence form.

If I tell a professor or administrative assistant that I’m not returning, can that be considered notification of my withdrawal? No. You must complete the online Withdrawal/Leave of Absence form.

Do I use this form to drop a class? No. If you are dropping a class or two, you would complete that through your MyGFU self-service portal. You would only use the online Withdrawal/Leave of Absence form if you are vacating all coursework for the term.

More information about the Withdrawal/Leave of Absence policy is available in the Catalog and Student Handbook or by contacting an enrollment counselor in the registrar’s office.
