Withdrawal

Students who want or need to discontinue their enrollment at the College for any reason, for any period of time, are required to notify the College via a withdrawal form. Typically, a brief exit interview is conducted by the Dean of Students office and the student brings this form to Residential Life, Student Accounts/Financial Aid, and ultimately the Registrar. Students may choose to have the college route the form on their behalf if they have already departed campus.

The withdrawal form asks if a student requests to withdraw immediately or effective at the end of the term. Students who opt to withdraw during a term must turn in the form on or before the course withdrawal deadline to be withdrawn from courses and receive designations of “W” on their transcript. Past the withdrawal deadline, students will receive final letter grades in each course and students will need to submit an Academic Petition if they wish to request late withdrawals. Students who opt to withdraw at the end of a term will receive grades and then be withdrawn from the College prior to the start of the next term. Special circumstances are outlined in Gustavus’s Medical Leave of Absence policy, Family Emergency Leave policy, and Active Military Duty policy.
