Dropping Out?

[baiiyuu]

<p>I recently realized that after fall quarter I don't really want to be at UCLA anymore - it's not that I think it's a bad school or anything, I'm just not sure what I want to do and I don't want to waste my time and money here. I maintained a less than stellar GPA last quarter and my family can barely afford to keep sending me here. So, I wanted to transfer into a Community College before Winter Quarter starts to finish my GE's and figure out what I want to do career-wise, because it seems like the best alternative for me now.</p>

<p>But, I have no idea what the process is to drop out/withdraw. Do I have to wait out the entire year or can I do so now? Also, where exactly am I supposed to go to drop out? Are there any forms I have to fill out? I know that there's a $400 housing contract cancellation fee - is there one for leaving the year early? Thank you for your help in advance. And, even if you don't know exactly what to do - a link / number I can call would help as well - I don't get much out of google. Thanks again!</p>

<p>You don’t have to wait out the rest of the year. You’re going to have to go through your department or Murphy to know what the procedures are.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure you can just do it through URSA- that “declare term non-attendance” button… although I guess if you’re going to be gone for more than a year there might be other procedures you need to follow or there might be an easier way so you don’t have to remember to declare non-attendance every quarter.</p>

<p>Here’s the link to the registrar’s site, it has info on withdrawing and what to do when you want to be readmitted : [UCLA</a> General Catalog 2009-2010 Absence and Readmission](<a href=“http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/catalog/catalog09-10-36.htm#1322729016_pgfId-57350]UCLA”>http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/catalog/catalog09-10-36.htm#1322729016_pgfId-57350)</p>
