withdrawals
Explanation:
A more formal term for "dropping out."

Also, I don't think "certificates of withdrawal" is necessary because the first item on the department's list is "certificates."
Suerte!

certificates /attestations of cessation of studies


Explanation:
I think this is the term, meaning withdrawal from study programme- see website reference for University of Leuven below. (You also need to get a 'certificado de baja' also when a car passes out of your possession- see second web ref below)

neutral  neilmac: Very formal, I personally don't like like it (try saying it with a mouthful of peanuts); the links are from Belgium and Argentina.

Abandonment


Explanation:
this is to describe the subject drops-out at some moment. I ´ve found this exemple in a forum and it looks quite similar. I believe it could really work better this way, just keeping one word instead of a phrase
