Leave of Absence. A student who intends to leave college should apply formally for withdrawal. Because of the seriousness of this decision, it is strongly recommended that family members be informed. In cases where students are uncertain about leaving the college, they should meet with a dean, an academic adviser, or a member of the counseling center staff.
Students in academic difficulty or on probation should meet for an exit interview with the member of the dean`s staff responsible for withdrawal and readmission before submitting the withdrawal form for processing. Those with low cumulative grade-point averages or credit deficiencies may be required to take courses elsewhere before returning to Livingston College.
Students who leave the college for any reason other than graduation must withdraw officially prior to the beginning of the term, or they will remain accountable for academic and financial obligations incurred during the term of registration. Students who submit withdrawal forms after the first day of the term may be eligible for a partial reduction of tuition and other charges. See the Tuition and Fees section for further information.
To withdraw from the college, students should obtain the appropriate forms online at livingston.rutgers.edu, fill them out, and bring them to Lucy Stone Hall, Room A-224.
Readmission. Students who have discontinued enrollment at the college for at least one term must apply to the Office of the Dean for readmission. Students who withdraw from the college after the twelfth week of the term cannot apply for readmission for the following term. To be considered for acceptance to the college for the fall term, readmission applications (available online) must be submitted by May 15; for readmission in January, applications must be received in the dean`s office before November 15.
For the college`s policy on readmission after dismissal for academic reasons, see Scholastic Standing below.
Readmitted students with 60 or more credits must meet university and college requirements in effect when the withdrawal was granted. Readmitted students with fewer credits must fulfill the current college and univer- sity requirements.
