After the second week of classes, the only routinely permissible
changes of registration are withdrawals from individual courses or
withdrawal from all courses, both of which are allowed without academic
penalty until the end of the eighth week. The date on which the
graduate registrar receives from the student written notification of
withdrawal governs the academic and financial consequences of the
withdrawal. Students withdrawing from a course after the eighth week
need the approval of the dean's office, as evidenced by the signature
of the dean (or the dean's designated representative) on the withdrawal
form, and are required to provide a letter from the instructor
indicating academic status in the course and are subject to receiving a
failing grade at the discretion of the instructor. A student who stops
attending a course without notifying the registrar will receive a grade
of F in that course. No refunds of tuition are given in the case of
individual course withdrawals after the second week of classes,
although a student who withdraws from all courses may receive a partial
refund (visit http://studentaid.rutgers.edu for more information).
Withdrawal is not permitted after the 12th week of the semester.
Notification to the instructor, adviser, or school does not fulfill the
student's obligation to communicate directly and in writing with the
registrar in all matters pertaining to changes in registration and
withdrawal.
