Withdrawals and Termination of Attendance
Students who intend to withdraw from the University during the semester must do so officially by completing the Notification to Withdraw/Transfer form found online in FALCONLink. The date by which this form is submitted determines the percentage of refund eligibility as published by Student Financial Services. Students living in the residence hall are expected to check-out and move out of their room within 48 hours of their date of withdrawal. Unofficial withdrawals result in an F on the student transcript. Students who do not intend to return to Messiah University in a subsequent semester must also complete the Notification to Withdraw/Transfer form prior to the end of the final semester of enrollment. Students may submit a Notification to Withdraw/Transfer by Friday prior to the last week of regular classes. Before submitting the Notification to Withdraw/Transfer, students are encouraged to meet with the Director of Student Success or a professional from the Registrar Office team to discuss the reasons for a withdrawal or transfer. Please be advised that after a submission has been made, the Director of Student Success may follow up to conduct a conversational exit-interview.
