Enrollment and Withdrawal

Students are enrolled in the UVA Student Information System (SIS) and will be able to see their certificate on their UVA transcript.  McIntire certificates follow their own withdrawal schedule on the Student Financial Services website. Withdrawing from the program one week to less than two weeks after the start date triggers the schedule and you will be responsible for a percentage of tuition.  You will also receive a W (withdrawn) on your transcript for the certificate. Withdrawals must be sent in writing to the program in order to initiate the process with UVA.
