Students may withdraw from professional course(s) only after written permission has been obtained from the course coordinator and the assistant dean of students. The course withdrawal must be processed through the School registrar within the time period specified by the University. Students are not permitted to “unofficially withdraw” by merely not attending classes. Under no circumstances will withdrawal from a professional course(s) be granted solely on the basis of poor performance in the professional course(s), except in the event of resignation from the program.
