Canceling Out of College

Complete Cancellation Form

Checklist for canceling all UMM Classes

Use this checklist if you are planning on leaving the University of Minnesota Morris for one semester or longer. You do not need to complete this checklist if you are leaving for a study abroad or National Student Exchange program. Until an official notice of cancellation is received in the Office of the Registrar, spaces in classes are reserved, and tuition and fees charges continue to accrue regardless of nonattendance.

_ Contact your academic advisor, instructors, and the Office of the Registrar. Taking incompletes and finishing your course work at a later time may be a better option than withdrawing for some students. You may want to discuss this option with your instructors, advisor, and the Office of the Registrar.

_ Speak to a Financial Aid Counselor. You may be required to repay all or a portion of your financial aid which can include: grants, scholarships, employment and/or loans. If you are transferring to another institution, you may need to cancel future financial aid at UMM before your new school can award your financial aid. For more information visit the Financial Aid website at www.morris.umn.edu/financialaid/withdrawals.htm

_ Drop your classes. If you are leaving the University for any reason, you must cancel your classes to avoid receiving “F” grades. You will need to cancel your last class with the Office of the Registrar. Please use the Complete Cancellation Form above. You may be responsible for all or part of the tuition and fees if you cancel after the first week of classes for fall or spring semester. Summer deadlines will vary. Check the cancel/add deadlines at http://www.morris.umn.edu/services/registrar/canceladd.html and the refund deadlines at http://www.morris.umn.edu/services/business/Refunds.htm . Be sure to cancel any registrations for future terms if you do not plan on returning. You will receive a grade of “W” for each class you cancel after the second week of the term.

_ Pay any remaining tuition, fees, and other charges on your student account.  You will not be able to re-register at the University or request an official transcript if there are any past due charges on your account. Past due accounts may be referred to a collection agency and/or result in legal action. Go to the cashier window of the Business Office, 205 Behmler Hall, to pay your bill.

_ Request a tuition refund (if applicable).  If you are leaving the University for medical or military reasons, or for academic dismissal/suspension, you may be entitled to a partial or, in rare cases, a full tuition refund. Print the Tuition Refund Appeal form here: http://www.morris.umn.edu/services/registrar/Forms/Tuition_Refund_AppealUMNMO.pdf . You must provide third party documentation supporting your appeal. See the instructions on the form for more details. If you are leaving for military reasons, please refer to the Active Military Duty Cancellation Policy at: http://www.morris.umn.edu/services/registrar/military_leave.html .

_ Cancel your on-campus housing contract.   Contact your residence director or resident advisor as soon as you know you are cancelling and get the proper forms and information for checking out of your residence hall or apartment.  Failure to comply with check-out procedures may result in additional charges being assessed to you. Go to http://www.morris.umn.edu/services/reslife/check.html for further information.

If you rent off-campus and plan on leaving town, contact your landlord to discuss your options. There may be financial penalties for canceling your housing contract or lease.

_ Return any books, equipment, or materials on loan from the University. Library books, lab equipment, keys, sports equipment, etc. must be returned promptly to avoid late fees and/or replacement costs.

_ Update your address and phone number. You can do this on the Student One Stop at www.morris.umn.edu/onestop .

_ Contact the Boynton Student Health Insurance Office. You may no longer be covered by student health insurance once you withdraw from school. If you are covered under the University’s student health insurance, contact the Boynton insurance representative at 612-624-0627 to determine your status. If you are covered under a private policy and are no longer a student, contact the insurance carrier to investigate other coverage options.

_ International Students: Contact the Center for International Programs (CIP). SEVIS requires notification when an international student leaves the University. Contact CIP, 231 Community Services Building, to fulfill this requirement.

_ Minnesota Transfer Curriculum. If you have completed the MN Transfer Curriculum, be sure to meet with the transfer specialist, 204 Behmler Hall, before you leave UMM to ensure that this achievement is noted on your transcript.

_ Miscellaneous
- Textbooks from the UMM Bookstore – can be returned at the beginning of the semester
- Post Office – leave a forwarding address
- Parking permits – contact Campus Security for a possible refund
- Meal plan – contact Marilyn in Food Service

_ Apply for Re-admission to UMM. If you interrupt your enrollment for more than one year, you will need to Apply for Re-admission through the Admissions Office. It may be necessary to withdraw for only one term; if you are in good standing, you will be able to register for the following term without applying for re-admission!
