Change of Registration and Withdrawal

After the university add/drop period ends, the only routine permissible changes of registration are withdrawals from individual courses or withdrawal from the university. Both actions are allowed without academic penalty until the end of the seventh week of the semester. The date on which the registrar receives notice of withdrawal from the student governs the academic and financial consequences of the withdrawal. Any student withdrawing from a course after the seventh week needs the approval of the dean's office, and is required to provide a letter indicating academic status in the course from the course instructor. A student who stops attending a course without notifying the registrar will receive a failing grade in that course. No refunds of tuition are given for individual course withdrawals after the add/drop period ends. A student who withdraws from all courses may receive a partial refund, however, according to the rules described on the registrar's website at http://nbregistrar.rutgers.edu/grad/enrol-nb.htm. Withdrawal is not permitted during the last two weeks of classes.
