A graduate student who wishes to withdraw from all courses does so
by submitting 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.
The privilege of official withdrawal is not
granted after the eighth week of the semester; students who leave school
during this period are still considered officially enrolled and will
receive final grades for the semester.
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.
