Withdrawal and Adjustment of Fees

A student in good academic standing who is not subject to discipline may be permitted to withdraw at any time. Withdrawal is defined as the dropping of one's entire program in a given term as opposed to dropping a portion of one's program. If the student is under twenty-one years of age, his or her parent or guardian must first give consent in writing to:

Frank Wolf, Director of the Berlin Consortium for German Studies
Columbia University
Overseas Programs
Mail Code 4116, 2970 Broadway
New York, NY 10027-6902

Any student withdrawing must notify the Academic Director in Berlin in writing; failure to attend classes or notification to instructors does not constitute formal withdrawal and will result in failing grades in all courses. Any adjustment of the tuition that the student has paid is calculated from the date on which the Academic Director receives the student's written notification.

The tuition deposit, application fee, or other special fees are not refundable in any circumstance.
