Withdrawal from a Course
In order to withdraw from one or more courses a student must do one of the following:
- do so in person, presenting a valid photo ID at the Office of the Registrar (Administration Building, First Floor) or Kean Ocean Administrative Office, (Gateway 103).
- submit a signed, dated letter (listing the student ID number, phone numbers, and sufficient information to identify the course section to be dropped) or a completed withdrawal form to the Office of the Registrar or Kean Ocean Administrative Office. The withdrawal form is available in the Forms and Policies section of the Registrar's website.
- submit an email, from your personal Kean email account, to regme@kean.edu (include your student ID number, phone numbers, and sufficient information to identify the course section to be dropped).
For security and privacy purposes, requests for withdrawal via the phone or non-Kean email accounts will not be processed.
The request must be received in the Office of the Registrar/Kean Ocean Administrative Office or postmarked by the published deadlines found on the Academic Calendar.
The withdrawal or "W" grade is not counted in the cumulative grade point average.
Any student who does not officially withdraw on or before the published deadlines found on the Academic Calendar will be given a letter grade that reflects his or her achievement in the course.
If you are a financial aid recipient, please note the following:
- Withdrawal from any course could result in a decrease in assistance, per Kean's Financial Aid withdrawal policy. This could create (or increase) a balance due to the University.
