After the Add/Drop period, every withdrawal from a course must be subject to a previously written request before the authorized due date, as fixed in the Academic Calendar. To this purpose, the student must complete the relevant form, have it signed by the related teacher and the Head of Department before submitting it to the Registrar Office. The deadline for the official withdrawal from a course is fixed at the end of the 10th week of the semester. It is worth mentioning that an absence during midterms or finals does not lead, in any case, to the withdrawal from the course.

If a student is allowed to withdraw from a course, the latter will be displayed on his/her academic file with the grade W; the course fees cannot be reimbursed or deducted from the general fees the student has to pay. Furthermore, a withdrawal from a course does not lead to any modification in the student’s University fees. In addition, a student, having withdrawn from a course during the semester, cannot apply for a scholarship of merit for the following semester, even if all other required conditions are fulfilled.

The withdrawal from a course will be refused if a student’s credits per semester drop below the minimum number of 3 credits per semester, or if he/she misses more than 20% of the course.
