WITHDRAWAL
Courses. Until 2 weeks before the last class of the term, students may withdraw
from a course at their own discretion. A student needing to withdraw must obtain
the instructor’s signature on a drop form and submit it to the registrar before the
deadline indicated each term. The course remains on the student’s transcript with
the notation “W,” for “withdrew.”
Degree Programs. A student may withdraw (i.e., terminate residence) from degree
candidacy at any time. If a student withdraws during the first 10 class days, the
notation “withdrew for the term, in good standing” will be entered on the transcript.
If withdrawal occurs after the first 10 class days, with certification by the instructor
of each course that the student is in good standing, the notation “withdrew for the
term, in good standing” will be entered on the transcript; otherwise, each course will
be entered followed by the notation “withdrew.”
Withdrawal for medical reasons, when verified by the student’s physician, will be
entered as such. Students who withdraw from degree candidacy and later wish to
resume degree candidacy must petition the director of their degree program in
writing for re-admission.
REFUND POLICY
The Thayer School policy on refund of payments by students who withdraw voluntarily
or are dismissed from the School during any term is as follows:
Tuition. A full refund is issued to students who withdraw or are dismissed before
the beginning of term classes. During the first week, the refund is 90%; during the
second and third weeks, 75%; during the fourth week, 50%; during the fifth week,
25%. After the fifth week, there is no refund.
Requests for refunds should be submitted in writing to the Controller of Dartmouth
College, 6132 McNutt Hall, Room 103, Hanover, NH 03755, (603) 646-3230. Any
balance due the student will be paid within 40 days.
