After the tenth day of classes, students need approval to withdraw from a class. Students can now request this through the self-service functions in My.Butler. By following the steps listed below, your request will be electronically routed to the appropriate individual(s) for approval. Enrollment holds of any kind (i.e. accept financial responsibility, advising, verify local address, Student Accounts) must be removed before a student is allowed to withdraw from a class.
You will receive “status update” emails as the request moves through the approval process and you will receive a final email when the request is either approved or denied. You will NOT be withdrawn from the class until all necessary approvals are received.
