Re.: Russian-English Dictionary, 34 000 words approx., Arakin, Soviet Encyclopedia Publ. House, Moscow, 1970
(отчислен - это всё-таки "исключён"), хотя Russian-English Dictionary over 160 000 words & expressions, 1997, ISBN 5-200-02419 даёт о студентах
'sent down'.
Удачи, Mark Vaintroub!

dismissed from the 4th year of study at his own request

попадалась такая формулировка

хотя натуральнее звучит quit или withdrawn, однако в бюрократическо-канцелярском оригинале (вдумайтесь: отчислен по собственному желанию!) есть что-то ненатуральное.

Peer comment(s):

neutral Andrey Belousov (X) : To be dismissed one has to have smb's permission , which is obviously not the case
1 hr
it is exactly the case
agree David Wallace : I would say "withdrawn", but the point is that "otchislen" is a past participle: some registrar is the agent of action, not the student, although it was at his request

was voluntarily excluded on the 4th year…

In English, it is not too usual to use the “course” for the Russian concept of “курс”.
More naturally they would use the word “year” in a college/university context.
Thus the translation would be:

was voluntarily excluded on the 4th year…

A dictionary says:

курс 1. в разн. знач. course; перен. тж. policy 2. (год обучения) year; он на третьем ~е he is in his third year 3. …

Sorry for the fonts, now I changed the fonts:
