Non-Attendee Retroactive Withdrawal Appeal
A non-attendee retroactive withdrawal appeal is permitted if you registered for courses at UNC, never attended the institution, and did not notify the institution to be removed from courses.
The Registrar will determine, in consultation with faculty members, the Dean of Students and others as appropriate, if the retroactive withdrawal should be granted. If your appeal is submitted more than 90 days after the end of the course(s), University Leadership approval will be required in addition to the Registrar.
- If granted, the courses will be removed from your transcript and tuition and fees will be adjusted if applicable. Certain charges related to your registration such as student insurance, fines, permits and/or emergency cash advances will be charged at 100%.
- If the petition is denied, you will be charged 100% of tuition and fees, as well as certain charges related to your registration such as student insurance, fines, permits, and/or emergency cash advances.
- All petitions must be in writing and signed by the student, legal guardian, power of attorney, or executor (in case of death). Documentation may be required if the petition is from someone other than the student.
- You should include a written statement describing the circumstances and reasons for the appeal and any required documentation.
