Withdrawal from SMU

Students wishing to withdraw from the University must initiate a Student Petition for Withdrawal form, obtain approval from their academic dean, and submit the form to the University Registrar. The effective date of the withdrawal is the date on which the Student Petition for Withdrawal is processed in the Registrar's Office. No refunds are made without an official withdrawal. Discontinuance of class attendance or notification to the instructors of intention to withdraw does not constitute an official withdrawal. Students who live in University housing must obtain clearance from the Office of Housing.

For a complete schedule of refunds, please see Financial Aid, Refunds.
