Withdrawal from the College of Medicine

A student wishing to withdraw voluntarily from the College of Medicine shall submit a formal request to that effect, in writing on the Office of the University Registrar form, addressed to the Executive Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. Notification of withdrawal will be sent to the directors of the courses in which the student is enrolled with the effective date given. Withdrawal is a permanent separation from the College. Further, matriculation in the College following withdrawal requires readmission by the Admissions Committee. A completed UAMS Clearance Form should be submitted at the time of withdrawal. However, the absence of a completed Clearance Form does not affect the withdrawal.

A student withdrawing shall receive a “W” grade on his/her transcript for each course in which he/she is enrolled at the time of withdrawal.

Download the Withdrawal Form (PDF)

Complete the form, mark “completely withdraw” and submit it to the Executive Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
