Room and Board Contract Cancellation

The Room and Board Contract Cancellation Fee Schedule aims to recover a portion of the University's housing expenses when a student cancels their room contract. This schedule also encourages students to provide the University with early notice of their decision not to return, facilitating accommodation arrangements for other students.

The fee for cancelling a room and board contract late is $500.

Every Arts and Sciences student accepted to the University of Redland must submit a non-refundable deposit of $350, which will be credited toward their first semester tuition fees.

OFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL

An official withdrawal for all students is confirmed upon receipt of written notification by the Registrar’s Office. Undergraduate students may withdraw officially up to the 60% point in each semester, resulting in a "W" grade for each course. After the 60% point, an "F" grade is assigned for each course. Graduate students can officially withdraw up to the 50% point in each semester, receiving a "W" grade thereafter. The Registrar’s Office determines the official withdrawal date based on the notification received from the student.

Students who depart from the University without completing the official withdrawal process will be assigned failing grades ("F") for all courses, regardless of their academic standing at the time of departure. 

Students who complete the official withdrawal process may qualify for a refund of tuition and other charges, as outlined in the "Refunds" section below. Conversely, students who do not formally withdraw will not be entitled to any refund. 

Unauthorized Withdrawal

Students who depart from the University without completing the official withdrawal process or notifying their instructors (including those who are expelled or suspended) will receive failing grades ("F") for all courses, regardless of their academic standing at the time of departure. These grades will be permanently recorded on the student’s transcript. Furthermore, the student will forfeit any entitlement to a refund of tuition and other charges, as detailed in the “Refunds” section below.

REINSTATE AFTER WITHDRAWAL

Students seeking to re-enroll at the University following an official withdrawal must submit a new application for admission and satisfy current admission criteria. Additionally, a $40 reactivation fee is required. Upon readmission, students will be subject to the prevailing tuition and fees. They may also need to fulfill additional coursework to compensate for any missed academic progress during their absence from the University.

TRANSCRIPT FEE

A student's academic transcript is issued upon written request from the student. The first two transcripts are provided at no cost; each subsequent transcript incurs a fee of $5. Transcripts will not be released for any student with an outstanding financial obligation to the University.

GRADE FORGIVENESS POLICY FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

Policy Statement

Undergraduate students have the option to request forgiveness for grades received in up to 16 credit hours of coursework, subject to specific eligibility criteria. This forgiveness policy applies to courses completed at Stony Brook University and courses transferred from other institutions to Stony Brook. 

Grade Forgiveness allows a student to request that grades from up to 16 credit hours of coursework be excluded from the calculation of their grade point average (GPA). Each student may utilize this option a maximum of two times during their undergraduate tenure at Stony Brook University. 

Grade Forgiveness does not eliminate the original grades and courses from the student’s academic record; its purpose is solely to recalculate the GPA. The original letter grades and courses will remain on the transcript, accompanied by a notation indicating that "Grade Forgiven" has been applied. If a course is repeated, both the original grade and the subsequent grade will appear on the transcript, with a notation indicating that "Grade Forgiven" has been applied to the original grade. 

Courses taken on a Pass/No Credit basis are ineligible for forgiveness. Furthermore, courses taken at other institutions and transferred to Stony Brook University cannot be forgiven. 

To qualify for Grade Forgiveness, a student must meet the following criteria:

1. Have completed a minimum of 12 credit hours at Stony Brook since being admitted as a degree candidate.

2. Maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher.

3. Obtain approval from both an academic advisor and the department chairperson of the department where the course(s) was taken. 

Returning Students 

Students who have taken one or more semesters off from the University (excluding summer sessions) and desire to return must submit a Petition for Reinstatement to the Registrar’s Office. Prior to registration, approval from both the student’s academic advisor and the department chairperson is required for the petition. 

Temporary Absence

Students who intend to take a leave of absence from the University for one or more semesters (excluding summer sessions) must complete and submit a Leave of Absence form to the Registrar’s Office. The leave of absence is granted for a specified duration and does not renew automatically. If a student wishes to extend their leave of absence, they must submit a new Leave of Absence form. 

While on a leave of absence, a student is not classified as enrolled at the University and thus does not have access to any privileges or benefits associated with enrollment (such as facility use or service access). Additionally, a student on a leave of absence cannot register for courses at Stony Brook University or any other institution.
