Prior to leaving, students must inform the academic student advocate of their intention to withdraw from the University and complete an online a withdrawal form. To access the survey and form please go to the Frost House webpage.

Withdrawing from the University prior to the beginning of the final examination period, when all University obligations have been met, means that students’ academic records are not adversely affected by the semester in which they withdraw. A notation of W will be recorded on students’ transcripts. If students withdraw after the beginning of the final examination period, without taking final examinations, failing grades will be recorded on students’ transcripts for the semester in which they withdrew.

Students may request a leave of absence from studies for one or two consecutive semesters’ absence from Plymouth (this policy applies only to continuous fall and spring semesters; early spring and summer sessions are not considered to be a part of a student’s regular continuous enrollment). A leave of absence is appropriate if the student intends to return to the University following a temporary absence for compelling reasons, which may include but are not limited to: military service, family emergencies, or medical reasons. Eligible students who apply for and receive a leave of absence retain their Plymouth email account, access to myPlymouth, and the ability to register online. No readmission application or fees are required if the student re-enrolls for a fall or spring semester immediately following the leave of absence. If there is no intent to return to the University, or if a student is unable to return following the leave of absence period, the regular withdrawal procedure should be followed. To begin the Leave of Absence process, please go to the Frost House webpage.

To be eligible for a leave of absence the following criteria must be met:

3. The student must not be subject to university initiated disciplinary action.

4. Students are not eligible to receive financial aid payments from the university during the leave of absence period.
5. Students may not live in on-campus residential facilities, attend classes, or seek/maintain university sponsored employment during a leave of absence.

Document(s) will be either mailed back to the student in the student-provided preaddressed/stamped envelope or handed to the student in the office.
