Written Cancellation of Registration for Semester Away
Frequently, students planning to study abroad do not know by the time of Advance Registration whether they have been accepted to their program or they simply are not sure that they will, in fact, be able to participate in study abroad. These students participate in Advance Registration as if they were planning to return to campus the next semester. When they are certain that they will be participating in study abroad, students must cancel their registration at the earliest possible time. This can be done by submitting a written notice to the Office of the Registrar, which should includes name, social security number, signature, and a brief statement indicating an intention to cancel registration in order to participate in study abroad. The purpose is merely to cancel the registration for the semester the student will be away.
(N.B. Most students know by the time of advance registration that they will, in fact, be going on leave. Therefore, pre-registering "just in case" is strongly discouraged.)
