Withdrawal from the University

Students interested in withdrawing should contact the Student Success Specialist located in the Academic Success and Advising Center.  Students in the School of Professional Studies should contact their Program Advisor.

Students are required to complete a withdrawal form in order for their withdrawal to be processed and made official. Non-attendance for courses in which you are enrolled does not equate to a withdrawal from the University.

Once a withdrawal is made official, students will be removed from their courses and the University system. If a student wishes to return, they will need to reapply to the institution as a transfer student regardless of whether they have taken classes elsewhere. A student has 5 days from the receipt of their withdrawal notification to rescind their withdrawal. This can only be done by contacting the Student Success Specialist from their Centenary University email address.

Administrative withdrawals are another way a student can be removed from the University system. This could happen for the following reasons:

  • If a student extends their leave of absence without notification
  • A student’s leave of absence exceeds two consecutive semesters or 365 days
  • If a student does not register for classes for two consecutive semesters
  • Dismissal from the University for judicial or academic reasons
