Withdrawal is the act of formally giving notice that one is leaving the university without intending to return at a future time. A student who has withdrawn is not eligible for reinstatement.
Students who intend to withdraw from the university must submit the Withdrawal Form to gsas-studentaffairs [at] columbia.edu. Until students are notified by GSAS that the withdrawal has been processed, they should assume that they are registered and expected to fulfill their academic and/or financial responsibilities, including completing course work.
