Withdrawal Policies
_________
Initial
_________
Initial
_________
Initial
1. Students must withdraw from courses by submitting either a Registration Request form or by dropping the
courses via GGU4YOU.
2. Submission of this form and an exit interview with the Director for Law Student Support is required. A
notation regarding administrative withdrawal is made on the transcripts of students who are administratively
withdrawn due failure to satisfy these requirements.
3. JD students who voluntarily withdraw from the Law School, or who are administratively withdrawn for any
reason, must reapply for admission and be readmitted as entering first-year students before they may enroll in
Law School courses again. Readmission of JD students who previously withdrew from Golden Gate is
unusual. No assurances can be given that such students will be readmitted in the future. Students who
withdraw are encouraged to take a minimum of two years to resolve any issues which led to withdrawal or to
prepare academically to succeed in law school. If students are readmitted, the courses they completed
previously will not count towards their new JD degree programs. In other words, students who are readmitted
must start their JD degree programs from the very beginning. However, their prior academic history will
continue to appear on their transcripts and will be considered in the review process for readmission to the law
program. No statements or oral representations by any member of the Golden Gate University School of Law
faculty, staff, or administration can alter the effects of these policies.
