15 Week classes through the 5th day of class.
7 Week classes through the 3rd day of class.
4 Week Classes, the first day of class.
If you are dropping after the Self Service Drop period, click the Online Drop Form link below. This link will only work after the online drop period has ended.
Online Drop Form You may be asked to login to myLSUA with your LSUA credentials. From the student drop down menu, select Drop Request form.
If this does not work, email registrar@lsua.edu, or call the office at (318) 473-6424
Students admitted to LSUA are expected to make regular and consistent progress toward the completion of their degree. However, the University understands that in exceptional circumstances a student may find it necessary to completely withdraw from all classes. The University considers such an interruption to be very serious as it delays normal progress toward the degree. Students should not withdraw for frivolous reasons or to avoid the consequences of ignoring their academic responsibilities.
Failing to attend classes you're enrolled in does not constitute a withdrawal. If you stop attending a class, you're still liable for all applicable tuition and fees, and you'll receive a failing grade.
If you want to stay enrolled in at least one class in that semester or special session, then you're not withdrawing. Please see Drop a Course instead.
Withdrawing
Withdrawing from the University - Current Semester
Withdrawal from all courses requires that a student withdraws from the university by the date indicated in the Academic Calendar found on the Registrar’s website.
On Campus students must visit the Registrar’s Office to complete a university withdrawal form.
Online students must email the Registrar’s office at registrar@lsua.edu requesting the university withdrawal form.
A withdrawal is not official until the complete withdrawal form has been processed by the Office of the Registrar and the student has satisfied all financial obligations to the university. The date of receipt of the request will determine the effective date of withdrawal. University Withdrawals received after the last date to drop courses without a grade of ‘W’ will result in ‘W’ grades recorded on the student’s transcript.
Students who do not withdraw from the university within the specified time found in the Academic Calendar, will need to petition for a prior semester withdrawal.
Prior Semester Withdrawal from the University
The Prior Semester Withdrawal Appeal was created to consider student requests for withdrawing after the published deadlines, due to circumstances outside of the student’s control. Circumstances are considered to be a significant illness or injury, death of an immediate family member or guardian, etc. These appeals do not apply to advising, academic department processing issues or missing the deadline.
All appeals require supporting documents to be turned in with the appeal for consideration.
Circumstances that support submitting an appeal:
Significant illness or injury that required the student to withdraw from the University.
Significant illness or injury of an immediate family member that required the student to withdraw from the University. Definition of immediate family: mother, father, brother, sister, child, spouse, domestic partner, grandparent, grandchild, mother-in-law, father-in-law, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, legal guardian, or other person who stands in place of a parent.
Death of an immediate family member or guardian.

Enrollment/attendance at another college/university.

Please allow 3-5 days for the change to be reflected on your transcript.
Students with any type of hold, will not be able to register for classes until the hold is cleared. Students may add courses, make section changes, or withdraw from courses, within the periods specified in the Academic Calendar.
