Withdrawal from School Checklist 
Consult with your academic advisor,
Director of Clearfield Campus, or the Vice President for Student Affairs
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 LHUP
VA Certifying Official that you have withdrawn.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

University.
Check
with the

Services Office to

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:
http://www.nslds.ed.gov/;
https://www.studentclearinghouse.org/ .
Contact
your student loan lender(s). It is your responsibility to follow through
with any procedure the lender recommends.
Keep

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 2008-2009 FAFSA by March 15th, 2008 if you plan to return to LHUP for
the fall 2008 or spring 2009 semester).

you are able to resume your studies at Lock Haven University of PA, complete a
