Withdrawal from The Cooper Union
Requests to withdrawal from a semester must be made in writing to the registrar at registrar@cooper.edu. In addition, this request must be communicated to school dean.
Architecture and Art students who seek to withdraw from The Cooper Union must email their request to the Dean of their respective school.
- School of Architecture: hayley.eber@cooper.edu
- School of Art: mike.essl@cooper.edu
School of Engineering students must complete the Withdrawal (WID) form on this page.
In withdrawing from The Cooper Union, students are inactivating their record, essentially severing their relationship with the Cooper Union. This means, should a student want to return to Cooper Union, they will need to re-apply, and will be held to the terms of their program established at the time of reentry. Thus if unsure, a student is encouraged to explore and discuss options such as a leave of absence with their academic advisor.
Dismissal from The Cooper Union is treated as a withdrawal.
When withdrawing from The Cooper Union, students will be required to meet with a Financial Aid advisor to discuss financial aid implications such as:
- Federal Financial Aid returns
- Exit Loan Counseling including Loan Deferment and Repayment
- SAP status and next steps
