Resignation

If you wish to drop all of your courses, before the official end of the add/drop period you should do so in the Registration Office, G-1 Thackeray Hall. If you drop all of your courses, you will not be liable for your term tuition and fees, and your registration will become void.

If you wish to resign from all of your courses after the official end of the add/drop period you must notify Student Appeals by mail, phone or in person.

  • Your registration and term tuition charges will be adjusted in accordance with the official University Title IV Refund Policy.
  • You must do this even if you are only registered for one course or one credit.
  • If you have housing and/or food service charges, you must notify the appropriate offices immediately.
  • There is a special resignation service phone line, 412-624-7585, which operates 24 hours a day, including weekends and holidays. The message on this line will ask you for some basic information.
  • You can also e-mail your resignation request to resignation@bc.pitt.edu. Please provide your:
    • full name
    • student ID number
    • daytime phone number
    • the term from which you intend to resign
    • and the reason you are resigning.

We will contact you to verify the information you provide.

If you resign after the last day of the add/drop period you are liable for a percentage of your charges and will be issued "R" grades, denoting resignation, on your transcripts. "R" grades do not count toward your degree, quality point average, or academic progress for purposes of financial aid eligibility.

  • If you resign by mail, the reduction percentage of the resignation will be determined by the postmark date on the envelope. It is considered to be the notification date of resignation.

Once the resignation period has expired (sixty percent of the term), students must withdraw from their classes through the appropriate Dean's Office.

  • No financial refund is applicable when a student withdraws.
  • Summer term resignations and withdrawals are handled on a case by case basis dependent upon the different sessions for which the student is registered.

Student Appeals is located in G-12 Thackeray Hall.
