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 services, or other reasons should notify the Office of Academic Services.
Withdrawal. 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 reactivation of their enrollment, providing they submit a formal withdrawal request to the Office of Academic Services. Failure to attend class is not equivalent to a withdrawal, and students will not receive an adjustment of charges or grades (see http://studentaid.rutgers.edu/withdraw.asp) unless a formal withdrawal is filed with and approved by the registrar prior to the 12th week of the semester.
Leave of Absence. Students in good academic standing who interrupt their registration in the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) must apply for Reactivation of Enrollment. Students who have left on probation or dismissal may be asked to improve their average in the Rutgers-New Brunswick Summer Session before returning. Any conditions established at the time of leaving must be met before application for readmission is made. SAS nontraditional-status students need not submit a formal request for a leave of absence, but must notify the Office of Academic Services and the department of their major both when they interrupt their studies and when they resume their studies. These forms are available online at: http://sasundergrad.rutgers.edu/academics/forms/leaveofabsence.html.
Students reactivating their enrollment with 60 or more credits may meet SAS requirements in effect when they first matriculated or elect to complete the requirements currently in effect. Students earning fewer than 60 degree credits during their first matriculation must fulfill SAS requirements in effect at the time of reenrollment. (Re)declaration of major and/or departmental certification is at the discretion of the relevant academic department(s).
