If you have already left the University but did not complete the withdrawal process before your departure, please schedule a virtual appointment or email the 'Cane Success Center at success@miami.edu to begin the withdrawal process. Your withdrawal will not be finalized until an exit interview is completed.
Withdrawal Date Appeal Form
If you were unable to attend classes due to a serious accident or illness, and this prevented you from notifying the University of your withdrawal in a timely manner, a Withdrawal Date Appeal Form can be submitted for consideration by an Appeals Committee. Appeals are submitted AFTER completing the official withdrawal process above and must include supporting documentation as to what prevented timely notification. All appeals must be submitted within 30 calendar days of the official withdrawal date established with the ‘Cane Success Center or if the appeal is being submitted for a semester that has already completed, it must be submitted within 30 calendar days of the last day of the end of the semester in question. Appeals should be submitted via email to registrar@miami.edu.
