Students who must drop all classes for a term or more, commonly known as withdrawing or a term withdrawal, must imme­d­i­ately submit a withdrawal request available online here. The completed form, bearing the required signatures, must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar in order for courses to be removed from the student's record and tuition owed to be recalculated.

Tuition, less the tuition deposit, and refundable fees are adjusted depending on the number of days student was enrolled in the quarter.  Tuition deposits are not refundable.

Schedule A applies to the following schools.  The full withdrawal refund policy can be found on the Student Finance website.

• Evanston undergraduate programs during Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer Quarters follow the schedule below.

Residence and meal contracts are signed for the full school year. Students who leave a residence before the end of the year are liable for the entire year’s rent or for charges up to the date another student takes the vacated space. Meal charges are assessed until the end of the week in which withdrawal is in effect. Adjustments may be made at the discretion of Residential Services for students who for financial reasons must make room and board arrangements other than those for which they first contracted.
