WITHDRAWAL AND READMISSION

A degree program student can withdraw from a course only with the approval of the Dean or Associate Dean. Withdrawal from an elective course is permitted during the first two weeks of an 8- or 10-week course, or when 20 percent of the given course time has elapsed (click to download withdrawal form).

A student may petition for withdrawal from the University only once during the time s/he is enrolled at AUA. Failure to obtain formal permission to withdraw from the University will constitute withdrawal from the respective AUA program and the student may be denied readmission.

A student who has withdrawn from the University and wishes to return must petition for readmission. All petitions for withdrawal and readmission must be submitted to the Dean of the relevant College, School, or Department at least three weeks before the start of the term for which withdrawal or readmission is requested.

Readmission of a student properly authorized to withdraw from the University is not automatic. The student will be considered for readmission based on his or her academic performance prior to withdrawal and the availability of space and courses during the term for which readmission is requested. A student must return from withdrawal within three academic years to be eligible for readmission otherwise, the student will be considered to have permanently withdrawn.
