If a student is not on academic probation and elects not to take classes for a semester(s) but intends to return to Smith School of Business and complete their requirements and graduate within the five year period, there is no need to officially resign from the program. The student should contact their campus advisor to alert them that they will not be taking classes for the specific semester(s) and complete the appropriate forms (for example, Waiver of Continuous Registration, Leave of Absence, and/or Degree-Seeking Graduate Student Withdrawal).
If a student needs to permanently withdrawal from the program and terminate their graduate student standing, the student must:
- Notify his/her campus advisor in writing (by letter or email) of intent to withdraw permanently from the program.
- Withdraw from his/her classes to avoid an "Incomplete" grade and/or tuition charges by completing the Degree-Seeking Graduate Student Withdrawal form.
The campus advisor will forward the student letter to the Graduate School for cancellation of admission, effective the date the letter is received. Review the complete Graduate School policy here.
