New/Incoming Students Wishing to Withdraw from All Courses Prior to the First Day of Classes or After Classes Have Started

Any new graduate student who wishes to withdraw from all courses before the start of the term, must contact Graduate Admissions: 617-573-8302.

Graduate Admissions may defer the student's enrollment for another semester.

New/incoming students who wish to withdraw from all courses after the start of classes will be placed on a leave of absence. (See "Withdrawing from Classes Once the Fall or Spring Terms Have Begun" in the student handbook.

Students on leave will be required to meet the degree requirements under which they were admitted. A leave of absence may not be used for the purpose of taking academic courses at another institution with the intent of transferring the credits to Suffolk University. A leave of absence is granted through the Division of Student Affairs. Courses taken at other institutions while a student is on a leave of absence may not be transferred back to Suffolk University for credit. A matriculated student who does not return for reregistering at the specified semester will be classified as an official withdrawal and must apply for readmission through Graduate Admissions.
