Withdrawal from School Checklist 

Consult with your academic advisor, the Vice President of Student Affairs, or the Director of Clearfield Campus about withdrawal from the University. The Vice President for Student Affairs approves all withdrawals from the University and can recommend that no academic penalty be assigned if the withdrawal is the result of a medical or serious family or other emergency. Students withdrawing from the University must complete a withdrawal form available in the Vice President for Student Affairs Office, 311 Sullivan Hall or the main office at Clearfield. An exit interview is strongly encouraged. 

If you receive VA education benefits, notify the LHU VA Certifying Official that you have withdrawn. When you decide to return to school, contact the LHUP VA Certifying Official again to restart your VA education benefit (e.g. GI Bill) payments. 

Depending on the date of withdrawal, a withdrawal may affect your financial aid and could result in your owing the University money.  Check with the Student Financial Services Office, preferably before leaving the University. 

Check with the Student Financial Services Office to determine the impact of the withdrawal on the satisfactory academic progress requirements for receiving financial aid the semester you re-enroll.

 Make sure you have information about your student loans. Student loans can be hard to keep track of, especially if you have attended different schools or used different lenders or loan programs. Review your records, contact your school(s), and locate all your student loans.  The following links may be helpful in gathering your loan information:  www.nslds.ed.gov; www.studentclearinghouse.org

 Complete required exit counseling sessions for student loans before you leave school or drop below half-time enrollment.  Contact the Student Financial Services Office for more information

  Contact your student loan lender(s). It is your responsibility to follow through with any procedure the lender recommends.

  Keep a record of names, dates, individuals, and a brief summary of your conversations with your school and lending institution(s).

  Be mindful of financial aid deadlines. If you plan to return to LHUP for the fall or spring semester, complete the FAFSA by March 15th of the spring semester prior to your return (e.g. complete the 2009-2010 FAFSA by March 15th, 2009 if you plan to return to LHUP for the fall 2009 or spring 2010 semester). 

  When you are able to resume your studies at Lock Haven University, complete a Request to Resume Studies Form and submit it to the Registrar's Office either by mail or by fax.
