Medical Withdrawal from the University

A student may request a Medical Withdrawal from the University for a serious physical or mental health condition. The student will begin the process with their academic advisor. A student requesting a Medical Withdrawal will need to complete the Medical Withdrawal Form and provide a letter from a physical or mental health professional who has treated the student within the last 30 days on letterhead recommending the medical withdrawal. The letter must include the reason the student is requesting a medical withdrawal, including the diagnosis, the date of initial treatment and dates of subsequent treatment (if applicable). The ADA Coordinator, Associate Vice President for Student Affairs, Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs will determine if the request meets the criteria for a Medical Withdrawal and if a Medical Withdrawal will be granted. The Primary Designated School Official will need to sign the form if the student requesting a Medical Withdrawal is an international student. A grade of “E” will be issued for all classes due to a Medical Withdrawal.

To be readmitted to the University, in addition to following the regular reapplication process, a student returning from a Medical Withdrawal must provide documentation from the physical or mental health professional clearing the student to resume studies.
