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 University Withdrawal the student should contact the Office of the Dean of Students 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 University Withdrawal.
Step Three: Submit University Withdrawal Request
After a conversation with the student, information on how to initiate and complete the University 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 Office of the Dean of Students staff and our office will assist.
