4.3 - Administrative Withdrawal

Updated: 7/13/2026

An administrative withdrawal “AW” may be assigned to indicate that a student has been involuntarily withdrawn from classes after the University drop and add period, by the University.  Students may receive an “AW” for disciplinary reasons, financial reasons, or inadequate attendance.  Such institutional penalties must follow formal institutional procedures.  Administrative withdrawals are GPA neutral and are approved by the Associate Vice Provost for Student Success.

For assistance, please contact your college or OU Health Campus Office of Admissions & Recruitment at (405) 271-2359.
