PURPOSE OF REQUEST: This form is used to request the following exception to enrollment policy options: the last day
to drop course(s) without a W; last day to drop course(s) with a W; last day for term withdrawal; and, last day to
cancel enrollment. This process is not intended to be used as a substitute for enrollment transactions that students
can complete on their own via myUMBC. The University takes requests for exceptions seriously and will consider
exceptions to enrollment policy only under extenuating circumstances. In accordance with university policy, anyone
who registers for course(s) at UMBC is responsible for managing their registration and following appropriate
enrollment procedures and deadlines, including terminating course(s) or semester registration if discontinuing
enrollment at the university. For detailed information about enrollment policies, go to undergraduate catalog or
graduate catalog.
For full consideration and to expedite your request, please be sure to:
- You must use your myUMBC login to access this form

account balance. Please consult with your financial aid counselor prior to submitting. - If the deadline has not passed, proceed with completing registration transaction (i.e.: drop or
withdraw) before submitting your exception request - Gather and request appropriate supporting documentation before submitting your exception
request - Submit appropriate supporting documentation immediately via the directions provided on the
