Students voluntarily withdrawing from UA Little Rock must complete the University Withdrawal Form  to officially update their eductaional records. Those students receiving financial aid will need to have an exit interview with a staff member in the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships. The last day to officially withdraw from the University without a grade penalty is listed in the Academic Calendar . Students who fail to officially withdraw will be reported as having failed the coursework for the semester, and grades of F will appear on their official transcripts. Students who have questions about withdrawing should contact the Office of Records and Registration.

Any student who withdraws or drops prior to the first day of class will be refunded at 100%. Note: programs that have Board approved special refund policies will supersede this policy

Notes:

  1. Non-attendance does not constitute a withdrawal.
  2. An official withdrawal does not penalize or prevent a student from re-enrolling at a future date.

Students who officially withdraw from UA Little Rock (withdrawal from all classes) during a regular fall or spring semester are entitled to a refund of instructional fees in accordance with the following schedule:

Semester 100%
Sixteen-week courses (Fall & Spring) First through the tenth class day

Responsibility of Tuition and Fee Payment

By enrolling in classes at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, a student makes a financial commitment to pay the tuition and fee charges associated with that enrollment. Students withdrawing after the stated refund dates remain liable for full tuition and fee charges. Collection costs incurred in the event of delinquency shall be at the expense of the borrower, at a rate not to exceed 33.3% of the balance owed. Although the university accepts payment via student financial aid and third party sponsorship, the responsibility for payment remains with the student. If financial aid is not granted or if third-party sponsors do not pay within a reasonable period, the student will be required to pay the full amount due.
