Medical Withdrawal

A student may request and be considered for a medical withdrawal* when extraordinary circumstances prevent the student from continuing classes. The medical situation must be sudden or unexpected and beyond the student’s control. Certification by a licensed medical professional is required, and it is the student’s responsibility to follow all steps in the withdrawal process.

Please note: poor academic performance or lack of deadline awareness cannot be used as rationale for the petition.

Please note that medical withdrawals may still be subject to the Title IV Federal Policies under the Tuition and Expenses section. The student is responsible for tuition and/or charges that may apply.

To apply for a medical withdrawal, contact the Office of Academic Affairs.


*Catastrophic situations affecting individual students (i.e. death of a student, loss of limb, traumatic brain injury, stroke etc.) will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
