At Nexford University, a learner's active enrollment in a program may end either through a program withdrawal initiated by the learner or a program dismissal initiated by the university. This article outlines both processes.

Program Withdrawal (Learner-Initiated)

A program withdrawal occurs if you, as a learner, decide to discontinue your studies at Nexford University before completing your program. Submit a Request for a Program Withdrawal via our Academic Request form.

Consequences of Program Withdrawal

1. You will no longer have access to the Nexford learning platform, your courses, or associated resources.
2. Your monthly tuition charges will cease from the effective date of your withdrawal.
3. You will no longer be considered an active Nexford University learner.

Re-applying to Nexford After Withdrawal

Should you decide to return to Nexford in the future, you are eligible to re-apply for admission after a minimum period of one (1) month from your official withdrawal date. Please be advised that university admission requirements and tuition fees are periodically reviewed and may differ at the time of your re-application.

Program Dismissal (University-Initiated)

Program dismissal is a formal action taken by Nexford University to end a learner's enrollment. While this is a serious and generally rare measure, it occurs when a learner fails to meet essential university requirements despite notification and opportunities to rectify the situation. Learners at risk of dismissal are informed with adequate time to address the issues and get back on a path to success.   

Grounds for program dismissal include:

• Academic Reasons:
  • Failing a required course twice.
  • Consistently failing to meet the minimum academic requirements for your program (e.g., maintaining the required GPA or course completion pace).
    
    
• Participation Reasons:
  • Failure to meet the Course Participation Requirement, such as engaging in your course(s) and responding to Success Advisor outreach by Day 10 of a course session.   
  • A specified lengthy period of non-engagement with the university or your studies.
    
    
• Financial Reasons: Persistent failure to meet tuition payment obligations according to the agreed schedule.
  
  
• Failure to Provide Final Documentation (Accepted Evaluation Pending - AEP):
  • If admitted under AEP status, failure to provide all required official admission documents within the 90-day timeframe from your start date.
