In Banner self-service, whenever a student withdraws from a course (or from all courses for a term), a checkbox will appear asking the student to select all reasons for the withdrawal from the course(s).
In addition, the student will be able to add further comment about the withdrawal into a textbox.

Institution funding is partially based on student progression. It is thus essential that institutions know the reasons behind student withdrawals allowing the institution to proactively respond in order to minimize withdrawals.
By recording course withdrawal reasons in a table, the institution can generate reports and analyze student withdrawal reasons
A validation table will store withdrawal reason codes, descriptions and an active/inactive indicator for the reason code (used to populate the checkbox)
A table will store PIDM, withdrawal term, CRN, withdrawal reason code, withdrawal date, college, department and student's comments regarding the withdrawal.
Additional fields may be included in the table as deemed appropriate
