University Withdrawal

The last day for degree-seeking undergraduate students to cancel their fall or spring semester registration by email is prior to the first day of classes. Once the Fall 2026 semester begins, matriculated (degree-seeking) students need to contact the Office of the Dean of Students at 315.312.5483 and make appropriate arrangements for a University Withdrawal.

The deadline for University Withdrawal is the last day of classes. Our office cannot assist beyond the deadline.
