Starting the Withdrawal Process

This information is for matriculated undergraduate students who are withdrawing during the fall & spring semesters. Students should stay in touch with the Office of the Dean of Students since this is a formal procedure that requires students to be active in managing the withdrawal until it is completed.

Step One: Contact the Office of the Dean of Students

To initiate a withdrawal the student may contact the Office of the Dean of Students (ODS) at [email protected] or 315-312-5483. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8am to 4:30pm. Please note, only the student can initiate the withdrawal process.

Step Two: Consultation Meeting

When the student has decided they would like to complete a University Withdrawal, a consultation meeting will take place over the phone or in person. This meeting will inform students on the withdrawal process, as well as their next steps. At this time students are encourage to consult with other offices to determine the financial, academic, and housing implications of their withdrawal.

Step Three: Submit Withdrawal Request

After a conversation with the student, information on how to initiate and complete the withdrawal will be sent to the student's Oswego email. Students will complete the process using an online system. Updates will be sent to the student's Oswego email as the online process progresses. If a student is not able to complete an online process, they will need to clearly indicate that to the ODS staff and our office will assist.

Step Four: Finalizing the Withdrawal

After the student completes the process they will receive an email that confirms the completion of the withdrawal.
