University Appeal Committee

University of Michigan-Flint policy provides students an opportunity to drop or withdraw without petitioning during certain deadlines. Dates and deadlines can be found on the Academic Calendar page.

In the event a deadline is missed, students may submit a petition for late drop or withdrawal to the University Appeal Committee through the Office of the Registrar. Petitions and documentation must be received by the following deadlines:

Fall Semester by March 31
Winter Semester by July 31
Summer Semester by September 1

Petitions will be considered for valid and documented medical reasons, the student never attended/participated, or the passing of a significant person in your life. The University Appeal Committee may consider petitions for other catastrophic events. If circumstances cannot be documented, petitions cannot be approved. Decisions of the University Appeal Committee are final.
