Withdrawal Information
In order to withdraw from one or more courses, a student must do one of the following:
- Submit a completed Course Withdrawal Form to the Office of the Registrar / One Stop Service Center by completing the online Microsoft Form.
- Students will automatically receive an electronic copy of the form to their email once submitted for their records and will receive a confirmation from the Office of the Registrar once the withdrawal has been processed.
The request must be received in the Office of the Registrar/Kean Ocean Administrative Office or postmarked by the published deadlines found on the Academic Calendar. Withdrawal from one or more courses may have financial impact on student accounts. Information about tuition, fees and Financial Aid can be found on the Office of Student Accounting and Office of Financial Aid websites.
The withdrawal or “W” grade is not counted in the cumulative grade point average. Any student who does not officially withdraw on or before the withdrawal date published in the academic calendar will be given a letter grade that reflects his or her achievement in the course.
Course Repeat and Grade Recalculation Policy
Students seeking to withdraw from a course with a "W" grade are advised that a withdrawal may impact a student's ability to re-enroll in the course. Undergraduate students may repeat each course once (for a total of two enrollments) where a grade of F, D, C, C+, AF, or withdrawal (W/WD/WF) was applied to improve their grade point average and/or to meet prerequisite requirements. Please see the Academic Catalog for the full Course Repeat and Grade Recalculation Policy.
