A student may apply for a Medical Withdrawal through the Dean of Enrollment Management and Student Wellness as soon as possible, but no later than 90 days after the end of the semester in which the medical issue occurred. Medical withdrawals apply only to the student with the documented medical issue. A student who must care for a relative must follow the standard withdrawal procedure through the Advising Center. A medical withdrawal requires that the student submit a Medical Withdrawal Form accompanied by original documentation signed by a medical or clinical professional on letterhead that states the student was unable to complete their courses as of a certain effective date. The documentation is kept in a confidential file. A memo will be sent to the Registrar, Financial Aid (including Military & Veterans Services, if applicable), and to the Business Office to notify them of the student's withdrawal status. The student must satisfy any outstanding obligations with the Business Office, Financial Aid, Library, and if applicable, the Military & Veterans Services Administrator.
Students should be aware that withdrawals may negatively impact the Satisfactory Academic Progress Requirement for financial aid. It is the student's responsibility to follow up with the Financial Aid Office. (Approved by College Meeting November 16, 2009; revised May 4, 2020)
