Withdraw from a program as a domestic coursework student

If you decide you no longer want to continue studying at ANU, you should withdraw from your program.

Your withdrawal will be effective from the date the application is received by the University.

If you stop attending classes but don't notify the University that you wish to withdraw, you will remain an enrolled student and will be charged fees and receive fail results for your enrolled courses.

Program withdrawal is final. Readmission to a withdrawn program requires a new application to the University.

Step 1 - Advisor appointment

Before withdrawing from your program, you should speak to your ANU Academic College to discuss alternative options such as taking leave from your program or transferring to a different ANU program.
