Graduate Withdrawals from the University
A graduate student may withdraw from a program and from the university at any time. Withdrawal means terminating enrollment at the University. Students who withdraw from the university and later wish to return will need to apply for readmission through the Graduate School Admissions Office.
A withdrawal becomes official when the Registrar has accepted it. Students will remain responsible for all charges incurred during the semester in which the withdrawal occurs. All charges and refunds are based upon the date on which withdrawal becomes official. These dates are available from the Student Financial Services Office. Grades are dependent upon the last date of class attendance.
