If you missed a deadline due to a hold, you will need to file a petition to explain the situation, including a timeline and the steps you took to resolve the hold.

UCSD Students (All incoming and continuing students)

Students drop classes through WebReg on TritonLink per session.

If you are a financial aid student and you are dropping to zero units (withdrawing from the Session), you will need to complete the online withdrawal form. *Note: Your withdrawal is applicable only to the Summer term, not the academic year (Fall, Winter, Spring). Refer to the Calendar to verify if a "W" will be posted to your record.

The online withdrawal form takes 3-5 business days for the Registrar's Office to process. However, the drop is dated on the date you submit your form. Once submitted, a confirmation message will appear on screen. One withdrawal form per session will drop all courses in the session. If you want to be reinstated in your courses after submitting the withdrawal form, please email summer@ucsd.edu. If a 'W' is posted to the transcript, a reinstatement cannot happen without a petition through Academic Senate. For questions on the process, please contact the Registrar's Office at AcademicRecords@ucsd.edu.
