Withdrawals, Transfers, Leaves of Absence

A student who plans to withdraw from the University for personal and medical reasons, military service or who plans to transfer to another university must notify the office of the vice president and dean of student life and co-curricular education.  The student must meet with a member of the student life staff and complete a withdrawal request form.   This office will determine the student’s official date of withdrawal.  The refund policy for students who withdraw is contained in the University Catalog (page 227-228), as well as outlined on the student financial services web site (web.stlawu.edu/sfs).  The readmission process is explained in this handbook.

A leave of absence may be granted to a student who is in good academic and social standing.  Such a student may be readmitted at the start of a term if: readmission is within three terms of the student’s leaving, the university receives a 60-day written notice of the student’s intention to return and there is housing and classroom space available.  Only one course per semester may be transferred to St. Lawrence while a student is on a leave of absence.  The refund policy for students who take a leave of absence is contained in the University Catalog (page 227-228), as well as outlined on the student financial services web site. The readmission process is explained in this handbook.
