A separation from the university results in the loss of active student status and may be a permanent break from the university. A Separation can be initiated by the student or a representative of the university.

Students who have separated from the university must reapply for admission to American University to regain active student status.

Students who do not complete their courses and fail to give notice to the Office of the University Registrar of withdrawal from classes and separation from the university should expect to receive failing grades.

Students who have withdrawn from classes may be eligible for partial reimbursement. The date of course withdrawal is based on the last date of attendance as verified and documented by each instructor.  The Office of the University Registrar officially enters the withdrawal and/or separation on the student’s record.

Students in good academic standing wishing to separate from the University must notify the Office of the University Registrar and may do so at any time up to and inclusive of the last day of classes. Separations requested after the last day of instruction or by students on academic probation must be approved by the academic unit.

Students in good academic standing can apply to the university admissions office for readmission in the following semester. Students on academic probation may apply for readmission after two full semesters (fall, spring, or summer).
