Students may also drop a course by submitting a written withdrawal request either by mail, fax (973) 655-7371, or by completing a Withdrawal Form. Withdrawal Forms are available in the Office of the Registrar, College Hall - Room 204 or online at: http://www.montclair.edu/registrar/forms/index.html. Please note the Office of the Registrar has a mail slot in which written requests may be submitted during non-office hours. Requests received before 8:30am on the morning after any deadline, will be accepted as meeting the specific deadline. For written withdrawals submitted, students will be given or sent acknowledgement. Any student who fails to receive such acknowledgement within one week should immediately notify the Office of the Registrar.

(NOTIFICATION TO THE INSTRUCTOR OR A "STOP PAYMENT" OF A CHECK DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL FROM THE UNIVERSITY OR WITHDRAWAL FROM INDIVIDUAL COURSES).

The final deadline for withdrawal from courses which meet for the entire Spring 2013 semester is April 2, 2013. Withdrawal dates for Short-Term courses, which meet less than a full semester are outlined under the Short-Term headings above. The refund schedule refers to the percent reduction applicable to refundable charges only. Refunds for course withdrawals submitted in writing will be calculated based on the date of receipt of withdrawal, or from the date of the U.S. Postmark for those received through U.S. mail. All refunds are processed within these established deadlines, without exception. Tuition and fees are refunded in full if classes are discontinued by University authorities. Students who do not drop their courses according to the above procedures will receive the grade of "F" in those courses they ceased to attend and will be responsible for all tuition and fees associated with those courses.

Withdrawal Procedures from the University

Undergraduate Students wishing to withdraw from the University must complete an official Withdrawal/Leave of Absence form with the Center for Advising and Student Transitions, Morehead Hall Room 120. Students must withdraw from all of their classes via WESS prior to submitting the Withdrawal/Leave of Absence form.

Graduate Students requesting a leave of absence or withdrawal from the University must contact The Graduate School.

Notification to the Center for Advising and Student Transitions or The Graduate School does not constitute an official withdrawal from individual courses.
