I believe the answer is:

cistercian

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'monk' is the definition.
(I know that Cistercian is a type of monk)

'withdrawing just so rite can change' is the wordplay.
'withdrawing' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'just so' becomes 'sic' ('so' in Latin. I am not sure about the 'just' bit.).
'change' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sic' reversed gives 'cis'.
'rite'+'can'='ritecan'
'ritecan' anagrammed gives 'tercian'.
'cis'+'tercian'='CISTERCIAN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cistercian that I've seen before include "Man following order" , "Monk" .)
