Medical Withdrawal from the College

Students who must withdraw for physical and/or mental health reasons must submit a timely written request to the Assistant Dean and Director of Student Academic Support. Requests should be submitted at the time the student intends to stop attending classes. A letter from an appropriate licensed physical or mental health professional must accompany the student's request for a medical withdrawal. The letter should provide sufficient detail regarding the student's diagnosis, current condition, and treatment requirements. If the medical withdrawal is granted by the Assistant Dean and Director of Student Academic Support, the student will receive grade of “W” in each of his or her current classes. NOTE: Partial medical withdrawals are not permitted (medical withdrawal from one or two courses while the student is permitted to continue in other courses).
