Official Withdrawal Checklist
Use the following list as a guide to help guide you through the withdrawal process. Note, not all items may apply to your situation.
1. Before you initiate an official withdrawal, speak with your advisor. Your advisor can help determine what options are available to you. The University expects that students maintain continuous enrollment each term.

2. Check on your financial aid status in your JSU PAWS account or email finaid@jsums.edu. Withdrawing from the University may have implications on future financial aid eligibility and student loan repayment. Federal regulations and University policy may require that you repay a portion of the funds you received. Your financial aid will be prorated according to your date of withdrawal and funds credited to your student account will be adjusted. This adjustment may create an outstanding balance on your student account that you will be required to pay. We strongly encourage you to investigate these factors prior to withdrawing.

3. Pay any remaining charges on your student account. You will not be able to re-enroll into the University in the future or request an official transcript, if any unpaid, past-due charges remain on your account (tuition, fees, etc.). If your account is past due, it may be referred to a collection agency. Please contact bursarcares@jsums.edu for more information regarding student fees.

4. If applicable, check your housing status. Contact the Housing department at housinginfo@jsums.edu to determine if there may be financial implications when canceling your housing.

5. If applicable, notify University Veterans Services of your plans to withdraw. If you received benefits as a US veteran, service member, or family member of a US veteran, you must notify University Veterans Services of your leave or withdrawal.

6. If applicable, notify the Department of Athletics of your plans to withdraw. Any athlete should contact the Department of Athletics of your temporary or permanent leave from the University.
