Undergraduate Permanent Withdrawal

 A permanent withdrawal is a permanent separation from the university. If a student subsequently decides to return to the university, he or she must re-apply for admittance to the university for the first time. If a student who has withdrawn from the university without receiving a degree applies for re-admittance to a degree program, no credits earned by the student more than seven years before the time of re-admittance will be applied toward a degree unless they have been evaluated and approved by the school to which the student is applying. 

 

The dean of students notifies the students' academic dean, enrollment services, financial aid, housing services and residence life of this action. A residential student granted a permanent withdrawal must also cancel their housing agreement with the Office of Housing Services.

 

Students will be asked to provide the following information:

 

  • Name (First, Middle, Last)
  • CUA ID number
  • Permanent address and telephone numbers (home and cell numbers)
  • Campus Address
  • Reason for requesting the Withdrawal

 

Mail, deliver, or fax the completed form to the Office of the Dean of Students at the following address:
