退学する
When you hear 「たいがくする」(taigaku suru), it means someone is leaving school for good. It's like saying 'to drop out' or 'to withdraw from school'.
You might use it if a student decides not to continue their studies at a university or high school. It's a permanent decision, not just a temporary break.
For example, if a student finds a job and stops going to college, you could say they 「退学する」. It's a common term in educational settings.
When you're learning Japanese, you'll find verbs essential for talking about actions. Today, let's look at 退学する (taigaku suru). This verb means 'to withdraw from school' or 'to leave an educational institution permanently.'
It's often used when someone decides to stop attending a school, college, or university before completing their studies. For example, if a student decides to pursue a different path or can't continue for personal reasons, they might 退学する. It's a formal way to say someone is no longer enrolled.
When you hear 「退学する」(たいがくする), it means someone is leaving school for good. Think of it as dropping out or withdrawing from a university, high school, or any educational program.
This isn't about taking a break or transferring; it's a permanent departure. For example, if a student decides not to continue their studies, they would 「退学する」.
It's an important term to know if you're talking about educational paths or academic careers in Japanese. It clearly indicates a definitive end to someone's enrollment.
When discussing withdrawing from an educational institution, a common and direct verb to use is 「退学する」(たいがくする). This verb literally means to 'withdraw from school' and is generally used when someone permanently leaves a school, college, or university before completing their course of study. It implies a definitive departure, whether due to personal reasons, academic difficulties, or other circumstances leading to the termination of their enrollment.

§ Don't Confuse with Graduating or Dropping a Class
Many learners, especially at the B1 level, confuse 退学する (taigaku suru) with simply finishing school or dropping a single class. This is a common mistake because in English, "leaving school" can have several meanings. However, in Japanese, the nuance is very specific.
退学する means to permanently leave an educational institution without completing the program. It implies a definitive end to one's enrollment at that school. It's not about graduating and getting a diploma, nor is it about temporarily withdrawing or just dropping one course.
- DEFINITION
- To withdraw from school; to leave an educational institution permanently.
Think of it as a complete termination of your student status at that particular school. If you graduate, you would use 卒業する (sotsugyō suru). If you just drop a class, there are other phrases like 授業をやめる (jugyō o yameru) or 履修を取り消す (rishū o torikesu), depending on the context. Using 退学する for these situations would be incorrect and could sound quite dramatic to a native speaker.
§ Using It for Temporary Leave
Another common mistake is using 退学する when you mean to take a temporary leave of absence. In English, you might say "I'm leaving school for a year," which could imply a temporary break. In Japanese, however, 退学する signifies a permanent departure.
If you plan to take a break from school and return later, you should use 休学する (kyūgaku suru), which specifically means "to take a leave of absence from school." This distinction is crucial for conveying the correct meaning. Misusing 退学する here could lead to misunderstandings, as it would sound like you are quitting your studies entirely.
病気のため、彼女は大学を退学しました。
Due to illness, she withdrew from university.
§ Not Using the Correct Particle
When using 退学する, the particle から (kara) is commonly used to indicate the institution from which one is withdrawing, or を (o) for the institution directly. While both can be correct depending on subtle nuance, using を is generally safer and more direct in the context of the action verb itself.
- 大学を退学する (daigaku o taigaku suru) - To withdraw from university. (More common and direct)
- 大学から退学する (daigaku kara taigaku suru) - To withdraw from university. (Less common in this specific construction, often implies 'from' a source)
The particle を (o) directly marks the object of the verb, which in this case is the school you are leaving. It's a subtle point, but getting the particles right will make your Japanese sound more natural and correct.
彼は高校を退学しました。
He withdrew from high school.
§ Overusing This Word
Because 退学する is a very specific and somewhat serious term, avoid using it casually or in situations where a milder phrase would suffice. For instance, if someone is just thinking about leaving school but hasn't made a final decision, using 退学する might be too strong.
Instead, you might use phrases like 学校をやめることを考えている (gakkō o yameru koto o kangaete iru - thinking about quitting school) or 学校を辞めたい (gakkō o yametai - want to quit school). These expressions convey the idea of wanting to leave without stating a definitive withdrawal.
§ Understanding 退学する
So, you've learned that 退学する (たいがくする) means 'to withdraw from school' or 'to leave an educational institution permanently.' It's a pretty straightforward term, but like many words in Japanese, understanding its nuances and how it compares to similar words is key to using it correctly.
- Definition
- To withdraw from school; to leave an educational institution permanently.
When you hear or use 退学する, it implies a formal and often permanent separation from an educational institution. This could be due to various reasons: academic difficulties, financial problems, personal issues, or transferring to another school. The key here is 'permanently' or at least with the intention of not returning to *that specific* school.
§ Similar Words and Their Differences
Let's look at some other words that might seem similar but have different implications.
休学する (きゅうがくする) - To take a leave of absence from school
This is perhaps the most important distinction to make. While 退学する means leaving permanently, 休学する means to take a temporary break, a leave of absence. The intention is to return to the school later.
病気のため、彼は大学を休学しました。
Hint: Due to illness, he took a leave of absence from university.
中退する (ちゅうたいする) - To drop out (of school)
中退する is very close in meaning to 退学する. It specifically refers to dropping out of school *before* completing the course or graduating. While 退学する can encompass situations like transferring or being expelled, 中退する primarily focuses on the act of not finishing a program. In many contexts, they are interchangeable, but 中退する often carries a stronger connotation of not completing one's studies.
彼は高校を中退しました。
Hint: He dropped out of high school.
卒業する (そつぎょうする) - To graduate
This is the opposite of 退学する. While 退学する means to leave without completing, 卒業する means to complete your studies and receive a diploma or degree. It's the intended outcome for most students.
彼女は来年大学を卒業します。
Hint: She will graduate from university next year.
§ When to Use 退学する
You should use 退学する when you want to express the act of formally and permanently leaving an educational institution. This includes:
When someone is expelled from school.
When someone voluntarily leaves a school and does not plan to return.
When someone transfers to another school, effectively leaving their current one permanently.
When talking about a general withdrawal from an institution, without necessarily focusing on whether they completed the program (in which case, 中退 is also an option).
彼は経済的な理由で大学を退学しました。
Hint: He withdrew from university due to financial reasons.
ルール違反のため、その学生は退学させられました。
Hint: The student was expelled for breaking the rules.

يُخلط عادةً مع
While 退学する is more common and general, 退校する also means to leave school, often with a similar nuance of withdrawing. However, 退学する is the more widely used and understood term for voluntarily leaving an educational institution permanently.
This is a general verb meaning 'to quit' or 'to stop'. It can be used in the context of leaving school (学校を辞める), but 退学する is more formal and specific to educational institutions.
A very general verb meaning 'to stop' or 'to quit'. While you could technically say 学校をやめる (gakkou wo yameru - to quit school), 退学する is the formal and precise term for withdrawing from an educational institution.
سهل الخلط
Often confused with 退学する because both involve leaving school. However, 中退する specifically refers to dropping out in the middle of a course or program, implying that the student has not completed their studies.
While 退学する is a general term for withdrawing, 中退する emphasizes leaving before completion.
彼は病気で大学を中退しました。 (He dropped out of university due to illness.)
Similar to 退学する in that a student temporarily leaves school. The key difference is the intent to return.
休学する means to take a temporary leave of absence, with the intention of returning to studies later. 退学する is permanent.
彼女は留学のために1年間休学しました。 (She took a one-year leave of absence to study abroad.)
The opposite of 退学する, but can be confusing in context when discussing reasons for leaving school.
卒業する means to graduate and complete one's studies, whereas 退学する means to withdraw before completion.
彼は来年大学を卒業します。 (He will graduate from university next year.)
Shares the kanji 退 (tai) and a similar meaning of leaving, but applies to employment rather than education.
退職する is used for leaving a job or retiring from work. 退学する is specifically for leaving school.
父は先月会社を退職しました。 (My father retired from the company last month.)
Both involve a student's name being removed from the school's register. However, 除籍される implies an involuntary action by the school.
除籍される means to be expelled or have one's name removed from the school's roll, usually due to non-payment of fees or disciplinary reasons. 退学する is a voluntary withdrawal by the student.
彼は学費を払わなかったので除籍されました。 (He was expelled because he didn't pay his tuition fees.)
أصل الكلمة
From '退' (tai, 'to retreat, withdraw') and '学' (gaku, 'study, learning') + 'する' (suru, 'to do').
المعنى الأصلي: The combination literally means 'to retreat from study' or 'to withdraw from learning'.
Sino-Japanese (kango)السياق الثقافي
In Japan, withdrawing from school can carry a social stigma, especially from universities, as lifelong employment with a single company was traditionally highly valued and often tied to one's university degree. While attitudes are slowly changing, completing one's education is generally seen as very important for social standing and career prospects. The decision to 退学する is often a significant one, sometimes made due to financial hardship, health issues, or a change in career aspirations.
الأسئلة الشائعة
10 أسئلة退学する (taigaku suru) means to withdraw from school, often before completing the program. 卒業する (sotsugyō suru) means to graduate, which implies successfully finishing the program and receiving a diploma or degree.
Yes, you can use 退学する for any educational institution, from elementary school to university.
It's a word you might hear in news reports about students, or in discussions about academic careers. It's not an everyday casual word, but it's not rare either.
You could say:
- 私は大学を退学しました。 (Watashi wa daigaku o taigaku shimashita.) - I withdrew from university.
- 彼は高校を退学しました。 (Kare wa kōkō o taigaku shimashita.) - He withdrew from high school.
Not necessarily. While it can be due to academic issues or financial difficulties, it can also be for positive reasons like pursuing a career opportunity or transferring to another institution. The word itself is neutral.
The noun form is 退学 (taigaku). For example, 退学届 (taigaku todoke) means a withdrawal application form.
No, 退学する implies a permanent departure. If you're just taking a break, you would use phrases like 休学する (kyūgaku suru) which means to take a leave of absence from school.
退学する is a standard verb. When speaking about yourself or someone else, using the polite -ます (masu) form (e.g., 退学します, 退学しました) is appropriate in most situations.
Common reasons can include financial difficulties, health issues, academic struggles, pursuing a different career path, or transferring to another school. It really depends on the individual circumstances.
Generally, 退学する is specifically used for formal educational institutions like schools, universities, or colleges. You wouldn't typically use it for withdrawing from a club or a casual course.
