Leave of Absence, Withdrawal & Reenrollment
Full-time students are expected to maintain continuous registration throughout their degree program. Students leaving campus at the end of a semester for study abroad, for military service, or other reasons should notify the Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate New Brunswick (RBS-UNB) to submit a leave of absence or withdrawal form.

Leave of Absence.  Students in good academic standing who interrupt their registration and plan to return at a specific time may take a leave of absence.

Students who have been academically dismissed may not take a leave of absence during their transition semester, or they will forfeit their transition semester.

Students who leave campus before the end of the 12th week of the semester are eligible to return the following semester without submitting an application for reenrollment, providing they submit a formal withdrawal request to the RBS-UNB.

Failure to attend class is not equivalent to a leave of absence, and students will not receive an adjustment of charges or grades unless a formal leave of absence is filed with and approved prior to the 12th week of the semester.

External courses are not permitted during a leave of absence: a leave of absence is not for the purposes of taking degree credits elsewhere. If there are extenuating, one external course could be considered, but prior pre-approval from the advising office is required. Without prior pre-approval, the external credits will not transfer.

Any RBS student wishing to take a leave of absence must submit their Leave of Absence request with the Office of the Undergraduate Registrar.

Students cannot use WebReg to drop their last course or cancel their schedule. Students must submit a Leave of Absence request to cancel their registration and take a leave of absence from the business school.

Withdrawal.  Students may submit a Withdrawal for a particular semester when a return date is not known or when there is no plan to return to the Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate New Brunswick.

Students who have been academically dismissed and withdraw during their transition semester will automatically forfeit their transition semester.

Failure to attend class is not equivalent to a withdrawal, and students will not receive an adjustment of charges or grades unless a formal withdrawal is filed with and approved prior to the 12th week of the semester.

Students cannot use WebReg to drop their last course or cancel their schedule. Students must submit a Withdrawal request to cancel their registration and/or withdrawal completely from the business school.

Tuition Refund Dates.  Any applicable tuition refund will be determined by the date the student's Leave of Absence/Withdrawal form is submitted.

Please visit the Office of Student Accounting webpage for the fall and spring refund schedule and for questions regarding tuition refunds.

Reenrollment. In order to reinstate their enrollment, previous RBS-UNB students in good academic standing must apply to RBS-UNB for reenrollment through the Undergraduate Admissions Reenrollment application.

Any conditions established at the time of leaving must be met before application for readmission is made.

(Re)declaration of major and/or departmental certification is at the discretion of the relevant academic department(s).

Students who were academically dismissed from RBS-UNB and took a leave of absence or withdrew during their transition semester are not eligible for reenrollment.  

Only previous Rutgers Business School-New Brunswick students may apply for re-enrollment for the spring semester.

Students who were not previous RBS-UNB students are eligible for reenrollment to RBS-UNB for the fall semester only.

All financial holds must be resolved before returning students are able to register.

Application deadlines and procedures are as follows:

  • Deadline for reenrollment in the fall semester is August 1st
  • Deadline for reenrollment in the spring semester is December 1st
  • Students are limited to one school choice and to one application submission at a time.
