The deadline to academically withdraw from all classes for Fall 2020 is Monday, November 2nd (5p.m.). ISSS encourages you to allow time for this process and make decisions about withdrawal before the deadline.

Instructions for withdrawing:

Submit all required forms
- Login to InterLink and submit the “Withdrawal or Part Time Enrollment Request” eform

Please note that if you withdraw from all coursework, ISSS must report your withdrawal and end your F-1 status by terminating your I-20 for authorized early withdrawal. Review more details on Withdrawal. ISSS will also assist you in the process to return to Miami University as soon as you are ready.
