Medical/Administrative Withdrawal

Students can withdraw from courses up until the last day to withdraw, as listed in the academic calendar, each semester. Students experiencing medical issues or other extenuating circumstances during a semester can be considered for a withdrawal through the Office of the Dean of Students (DoS).

Withdrawals through the DoS require supporting documentation (examples may include hospitalization records and prognosis, death certificates, proof of fire in apartment, police reports, etc.). Please note, a withdrawal from the DoS, once approved and processed, will remove a student from all classes in which they are registered.

For the Spring 2026 semester, the deadline to submit a Medical and/or Administrative Withdrawal request is May 14, 2026 at 5:00 PM. Requests submitted after this deadline will not be accepted. Students must email all supporting documentation to deanofstudents@baruch.cuny.edu by the deadline.

For more information on requesting a withdrawal from the DoS, call (646)312-4570.
