Withdrawing from the University

Official Withdrawal or Leave of Absence Form

Withdrawing from all courses is a two-step process:

1. Dropping classes: Students who wish to withdraw from all classes in which they are registered must obtain a withdrawal form from the Registrar’s Office and follow the procedures to drop courses ( see Dropping or Withdrawing from a Course).
2. Exiting the University: Students must request an Exit Clearance Form from the Registrar and obtain the necessary signatures to ensure clearance or that arrangements have been made with the appropriate department(s). If the leave is temporary, a student should petition for a Leave of Absence at the same time, in order to maintain the existing graduation program (see below).
