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.
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.
