Students who wish to withdraw from their study programme at DTU are obligated to fill out a withdrawal form at DTU Inside under 'Study rules’/‘Withdrawal from study programmes’. The filled-out form must be sent from the DTU student mail to studadm@adm.dtu.dk.
Please note a withdrawal cannot be cancelled.

If the student is considering applying for admission to DTU later on, read more about the rules for admission on DTU Inside under 'Study rules'/'Readmission'.
It is possible for students to temporarily interrupt their studies by applying for a leave of absence if it is justified in special documented circumstances. Read more about leave of absence at DTU Inside under 'Study rules'/'Leave of absence'.

If the student has questions or needs guidance before withdrawing from their studies, DTU Study Guidance can be contacted.
Special rules for non-EU/EEA students with a residence permit in Denmark
A student who is a non-EU/EEA fee-paying OR waiver student and has a Danish student residence permit should be aware that his/her student residence permit may be revoked by the Danish immigration authorities (SIRI). DTU is obliged to inform SIRI when non-EU/EEA students withdraw from the University. Revocation of the student's residence permit by SIRI means that the student has to leave Denmark immediately.
