We understand that unexpected circumstances may require students to adjust their enrollment status. This section provides guidance on withdrawals, petitions, and absence requests to ensure a smooth process while maintaining compliance with university policies.
If you need to withdraw from all your courses, this is referred to as a University Withdrawal. This process ensures compliance with state and federal regulations, especially those related to financial aid and enrollment reporting.
Students may need to miss class for university-approved activities, religious observances, or personal reasons. Learn about the policies and notification process.
Students seeking exceptions to certain university policies, including withdrawal deadlines and refund requests, can submit petitions for review.
In the unfortunate event of a student's passing, SIU follows a formal notification process to support the student's family and manage academic and administrative matters.
