Dropping a Class
Once registered for a class, students may drop or withdraw from a class by submitting a drop form or emailing Nick Robertson at Robertson@exchange.law.nyu.edu with an unequivocable statement that they wish to drop a class. Continuing students should note that they may not withdraw from a summer class online by using the online registration system.
Drop forms can be faxed to (212) 995-4407, emailed as a PDF to law.registration@nyu.edu, or submitted in person during business hours to the Office of Records and Registration at 245 Sullivan Street.
The date of receipt by the Law School of the drop form or drop request, not the last date of attendance in class, is considered the official date of the student's withdrawal. It is this official date that serves as the basis for computing any refund granted to the student. Registration and services fees are non-refundable after a certain date, and tuition becomes non-refundable after a certain date, regardless of whether a student has attended a cl;ass in person or viewed class videos. Online courses additionally have a limit on how many course videos can be launched before tuition and fees become non-refundable.
Students dropping classes should consult the refund schedule.
Students have until the last meeting of the class to withdraw from an on-campus course without receiving a WD on their transcript. Students in online classes have until the date of the online attendance deadline to withdraw from a class without receiving a WD on their transcript.
