How to Resign prior to classes beginning:

If you decide to resign from a term prior to classes beginning you will follow these steps:

  1. You will first need to drop all but one of your classes.
  2. After doing so you will need to contact the Coordinator of Admissions and Records in the office of the registrar’s office. You may contact the dean’s office for information on who to contact at this point. You will need to send an email from your Auburn email address requesting to have your last class dropped.

How to Resign after classes have begun:

Should you find it necessary to resign your enrollment at Auburn University, please follow these steps to assure that your academic record is protected and that you bring to closure any financial obligations or refunds that may be due:

  1. The student resigning from the University needs to report to his/her dean’s office. The Dean’s representative will process a Resignation Form. The form indicates the term of resignation and the effective date of the resignation. Students may resign for personal, health, or military reasons. Students resigning for health reasons will be asked to provide medical documentation from their physician stating that the student had to withdraw for medical reasons. Any student resigning for active military service will be asked to provide a copy of his/her military orders.

    For students resigning after drop/add and prior to mid-term, grades of "W" are assigned to all courses. If the resignation, for whatever reason, is processed after mid-term, each instructor will report letter grades. Passing grades will be processed as grades of "W," and failing grades will be processed as grades of "WF." Students who resign are subject to any academic action incurred as a result of failing grades.

  2. If the student is resigning prior to courses starting, he/she may contact his/her dean’s office for proper steps to follow. If the student can come by the dean’s office, the dean’s representative will take care of resignation process. If the student can not come by the dean’s office the student will need to email an appropriate person in the Office of the Registrar from their Auburn email address. The directions for the steps to be followed can be obtained by a Dean’s office academic advisor.
