What is the difference between withdrawing from a course and resigning from the University?
Withdrawing from a course means that you are dropping one specific course from your schedule. Resigning from the University means that you are withdrawing from all courses in a specific semester. The process for both (withdrawing from a course and resigning from the University) is the same; however, different deadlines apply.
