How to Drop or Withdraw
Online
The most common way to drop or withdraw from a course is online. Students may drop courses through the Manage Classes tile in their Student Center until online registration closes. After registration closes, to drop or withdraw from a course, complete the Course Drop and Course Withdrawal Request Form located under Registration in My.IllinoisState.edu. If the form is closed, please email Registrar@IllinoisState.edu for assistance.
In Person
Stop by 107 Moulton Hall Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Bring a photo ID.
If circumstances make it impossible for you to follow the usual withdrawal procedures, or you need to withdrawal after the deadline, please submit the Request for Change form and a statement that explains your situation with appropriate documentation. Instructions for the Request for Change form
