Students wishing to cancel their registration, withdrawal from all of their courses, or take a leave of absence from the university, must follow the
University Withdrawal Process to submit an official online withdrawal form.
To cancel registration during the fall and spring terms, and obtain a full refund of tuition and fees, a student must submit an online withdrawal form within the first two weeks of the academic term. A student whose registration is canceled by the registrar receives a full refund of tuition and fees, and prorated charges for room and board, if applicable. A withdrawal form received on or after the end of the second week of the term is treated, for billing purposes, as a withdrawal and a refund is made based on the general refund policy.
A graduate student who wishes to withdraw from all courses should submit a written notice to the School of Social Work's Office of
Student Affairs in New Brunswick. Email correspondence is highly recommended. A student who leaves the
university without officially withdrawing receives a failing
grade in each course. The date on which the Office of Student Affairs
receives the written notice governs the academic and financial
consequences of withdrawal. Written notices should be sent to studentaffairs@ssw.rutgers.edu.
Please note that
notification to the instructor or field education office(s) does not
fulfill the student's obligation to communicate directly and in writing
with the School of Social Work's Office of Student Affairs in New
Brunswick in all matters pertaining to changes in registration and
withdrawal.
