University Withdrawals

A student is considered withdrawn from the University only if an official withdrawal form has been submitted to the Office of Academic Records. The effective date of withdrawal will be the date this form is received by the Office of Academic Records, or in the case of withdrawal by mail to the Office of the Dean, the postmark date on the correspondence.

When a student withdraws from a portion of their course registration, the effective date of the course withdrawal(s) will be the date the student electronically submits their request using the online Course Withdrawal/Late Registration form. This form is also available after logging in to Fordham.edu, in the Student tab, under Electronic Forms. If the dean submits the request on the student's behalf, the effective date of the course withdrawal(s) will be the date the dean electronically submits the Course Withdrawal/Late Registration form on the student's behalf.
