Withdrawals

Please use the tools on this page if you plan to withdraw from a course, withdraw from the college, or take an official leave of absence. These actions will affect your academic record, so we strongly recommend consulting your advisor beforehand to understand how withdrawals may impact your record, degree progress, and financial aid eligibility.

Course Withdrawal

This form is used to withdraw from a course after the drop/add period is over. A course withdrawal before the deadline will be graded "W" and will not compute into the cumulative average.

The date used for the withdrawal is the date the completed form is submitted to the Registrar's Office.

PLEASE NOTE: This withdrawal request is not official until processed by the Registrar's Office. Faculty will receive official confirmation of course withdrawal from the Registrar's Office.

Late Withdrawal Appeal

Late Course Withdrawals

If a student encounters circumstances beyond their control that hindered them from withdrawing before the official deadline, they have the option to appeal for late course withdrawal. However, such appeals are contingent upon approval and may not always be granted. Depending on the nature of the situation, the student will be required to provide supporting documentation for their appeal to be considered.

Withdrawal From the College | Leave Of Absence

Students who choose to withdraw from Cedar Crest College should consult with Academic Services and a faculty advisor. Academic Services can be reached at 610/606-4628 or advising@cedarcrest.edu.

Leave of Absence
Degree-seeking (matriculated) students who find it necessary to interrupt their college studies for a term or more must apply for an official leave of absence if they wish to return under the Liberal Arts Curriculum requirements. Within 3 years of the student's official date of separation, the student must have accomplished one of the following steps: return to classes, submit a letter of intent to register for the upcoming term, register for the upcoming term, or request an extension of the leave of absence.

Official leaves of absence of less than three years permit students to graduate according to the general education requirements in effect at the time they matriculated. With approval from the department in which they are majoring, students may be permitted to graduate according to major requirements listed in the College Catalog and in effect at the time they matriculated at the College. Students may also choose to graduate according to policies and curricular changes enacted by the faculty and found in the most current catalog.

If matriculated students request and are granted an official leave of absence of up to three calendar years, they are not required to reapply for matriculation when they re-enroll at Cedar Crest. Students who re-enter the College after a leave of absence greater than three years, an unofficial withdrawal, or any absence not formally approved, as described above, must meet the general liberal arts requirements and major requirements in effect at the time of their re-enrollment in order to graduate.

Withdrawing from Cedar Crest College
In order to withdraw officially from Cedar Crest College, a student must complete a process that begins with this withdrawal application. Official withdrawal prior to the official deadline for course withdrawal will result in all course work in progress being graded W (not computed into grade-point average). Unofficial withdrawal from the College at any time may result in all course work in progress being graded F. If the student re-enters the College to continue the major after a withdrawal, the student will graduate according to the general liberal arts requirements and major requirements in effect at the time of re-enrollment.
