02.05.08.02 Withdrawal From the Eastman School

Students who wish to withdraw from the School for any reason should consult the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs and file the request in writing. This will be the only manner of withdrawal considered official. The date of withdrawal will be the date that the student officially withdraws or is withdrawn by the School, or the last date of attendance, whichever is earliest.

If a student withdraws during the school year, any applicable reimbursement of tuition shall be made based on the date of withdrawal according to the published schedule of refunds: https://www.rochester.edu/adminfinance/bursar/refund-schedules.html.  Students who are administratively withdrawn for reasons of academic or non-academic misconduct will not receive a tuition refund and institutional grants and scholarships will not be reduced.  Federal financial aid will still be refunded per the policy outlined above based on the date of withdrawal.

A withdrawal from the Eastman School after the fourth full week of classes will be noted on the student’s academic record as either a “W” (withdrawn) or a “DE” (withdrawn failing).
