Administrators with unrestricted access to the Enrollment Policy Editor can configure a single-step withdrawal approval workflow, described in the table below.
When a learner sends a withdrawal request, a notification is sent to the withdrawal approver and the learner's transcript is updated to reflect that they have requested withdrawal. While they are waiting for approval, the learner may still perform normal activities on the program or course (for example, launch it or take an exam). The learner cannot change the status of the course (for example, mark it as Completed). Status changes caused by the LMS (as a result of the learner's activity or a routine scheduled task), are still actively in force.
When a transcript flagged for withdrawal has changed to an end-point status, the pending withdrawal request becomes outdated and is automatically cancelled. The following transcript statuses are considered end-point statuses:
