NYU Stern Graduate Financial Aid | Withdrawal/Drop

Dropping Classes/Semester Withdrawal

Students who drop a class or withdraw from a semester at NYU Stern may be eligible for a refund depending on how much of the semester has passed. The Graduate Office of Records & Registration website includes calendars and important dates. View refund schedules for dropping or withdrawing from classes on the NYU Bursar's website.

For students receiving federal aid who withdraw completely before attending 60 percent of the semester, NYU is required to calculate how much of federal student aid funds must be returned.  Those receiving federal aid who withdraw completely may be billed for the remaining balances resulting from the mandatory return of funds to the U.S. government. The amount of federal aid "earned" is determined by the withdrawal date and a calculation based upon the federal formula.
