Withdrawal, Attendance & Participation

For policy regarding withdrawal from Bluefield University, please see the current Academic Catalog.

The form must be completed with all signatures (Academic Affairs, Financial Aid, Admissions, Library, Student Development, Business Office, and Athletic Representative—if applicable).
