Withdrawal & Reimbursement
The Term Withdrawal and Reimbursement Petition form may be used to petition for a withdrawal from ALL classes in a term and/or petition for a tuition reimbursement. If you are withdrawing from all of your courses after the drop date but before the end of the semester, please fill out the personal information, check the withdraw box, and submit to the service center.
Personalized Learning students wanting to petition for a withdrawal from their subscription and/or petition for a tuition reimbursement can use the Subscription Withdrawal and/or Change of Withdrawal Date Petition form. If you are withdrawing from all of your courses prior to the subscription withdraw deadline (Day 11 – Day 110), please fill out the personal information, check the withdraw box, and turn this form in to the Student Service Center via email to ServiceCenter@nau.edu.
For scenarios requiring a petition, please complete the form and checklists on the backside of the form. After you submit all required documentation, your petition will be reviewed by a recommendation committee. Tuition reimbursement is decided by an additional committee of university administrators. The timeline for a decision is typically between 4-6 weeks.
