<p>how do i withdraw from my current university?</p>
<p>Ask the registrar at your current university.</p>
<p>I know this isn't the most courteous solution, but can't you just... ignore them. </p>
<p>Except, do pay your fines and fees, or you won't get any assistance with sending out transcripts.</p>
<p>ask your dean. i emailed mine and she set up a meeting time for me to go sign some withdrawl papers and such.</p>
<p>How necessary is this? I mean, it isn't easy to set up a meeting and travel half a day to sign papers.. I assume that if you don't continue to pay your tuiton bills and such, they will just eliminate you eventually.</p>
<p>To formally withdraw before graduating, you generally need to speak to a dean or the registrar's office. There are forms you need to fill out.</p>
<p>When I withdrew from my previous school, I had to get signatures on a piece of paper from 8 different people around campus and I also had to have an "exit meeting" with the dean of students. It took a full day to get the signatures, and I had to schedule the interview 3 days ahead of time.... completely ridiculous procedure if you ask me. In retrospect, I wish I'd just asked for my transcripts to be sent to Michigan and never told them I was leaving.</p>
<p>if you aren't on campus now you could probably arrange for them to mail or fax the necessary forms to you. but yes, it is necessary to inform them that you are formally withdrawing. i imagine there could be a lot of unwanted consequences that could arise from neglecting to inform them of this.</p>
<p>lol, I never told anyone....</p>
<p>What are some "unwanted consequencs" that people have experienced from not doing this? It seems like a lot of trouble for the same end result if you just neglect to return or pay new tuition and they assume you are on eternal leave. I guess I will see what I am dealing with.</p>
<p>probrolly tuition late fee's.</p>
<p>My school will sue students for the $210 late fee per month./</p>
<p>pretty crazy/.</p>
<p>They will probably go ahead and try to bill you for tuition for the upcoming year. Depending on the school, they might have late fees associated with it, I don't know. But I think equally as important as the money aspect of it is just the responsibility. You give a two-week notice when you leave a job. You owe your college some kind of notice too. It might be easy to just say "oh I'm leaving, I'll let them figure out where I went," but that's unfair to them and is also just a bad practice to get into for the future. Even when the consequences are small or harmless, irresponsibility is not cool.
That's my $.02, anyway.</p>
