do you have to tell the college your leaving? and transferring to another?

<p>let's say you are currently at university A but are accepted to unviersity B, which you plan to transfer to. Do you have to tell university A that you are transferring or can you simply attend university B without telling university A?</p>

<p>reasons for this might be: if you don't like Univ B, you can still return to Univ A after one quarter(since most schools allow you to take a one quarter break)</p>

<p>would you have to tell univ A? is there some form you need to fill out? or is it just courteous to notify them</p>

<p>The schools that my son has looked at transferring to require a statement from the Dean at your present school that you are in good academic standing and would be eligible to continue there. So, guess they would know you are applying and also your transcript must be sent to school where applying. I doubt that they would "care", I know students who have returned to first institution with no problem.</p>
