Late Withdrawal Deadlines

Students must initiate Late Withdrawals prior to the following established deadlines:

October 15, 2009 for Spring Semester 2009 and Summer Semester 2009
March 15, 2010 for Fall Semester 2009

Late/Retroactive Withdrawal Requests
Beginning Fall 2008, students who seek a late withdrawal will be charged a late withdrawal fee. The Undergraduate and Graduate catalog state:

Late/Retroactive Withdrawals
A student may request a late/retroactive withdrawal through the course instructor when a documented illness or extraordinary circumstance prevents withdrawal from a course by the established deadlines. Failing a class is not an appropriate reason to seek a late/retroactive withdrawal. Students who are failing a course should follow the “Repeating Courses” policy stated in the catalog. The deadline for a filing for a late withdrawal for fall semester is March 15th for the immediately preceding fall semester and October 15th for the immediately preceding spring or summer. Students will be assessed a non-refundable $25 Late Withdrawal Fee per late withdrawn credit with a maximum of $100 per occurrence.

The Office of the Registrar and Enrollment Management will forward all appeals of the Registrar's determination of Late/Retroactive Withdrawal to the Appeal Committee, whose decision is final and not subject to further appeal.

Procedures for submitting/responding to late/retroactive withdrawals requests are available at http://www.eiu.edu/~registra/retro.html

Please feel free to contact our office if you have any questions.

Sending Transcripts from other Institutions

It is sometimes necessary for students to provide official transcripts, from high schools or other colleges, to Records Office. Transcripts will be accepted only if they are received in one of the following ways:

The high school or college mails the transcript directly to:
Office of the Registrar,
Eastern Illinois University,
600 Lincoln Avenue,
Charleston,IL 61920
Faxed copies are not considered to be official and will not be accepted.
The transcript is hand-carried, to Room 1220 Old Main, in a sealed envelope that has the high school or colleges return address on it. The transcript will not be accepted if the envelope has been opened.

Photo I.D. Required

Safeguarding your confidential information is very important to the Office of the Registrar staff. One way that we do this is to require that a photo I.D. be presented any time a request for information is made. Please be sure to bring either your Panther Card or driver's license each time you come to the Office of the Registrar to avoid delays in receiving the information you need.

Enrollment/Degree Verifications

Eastern Illinois University has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to provide enrollment and degree verifications. The National Student Clearinghouse can be contacted at: www.studentclearinghouse.org
