  5. Medical Appeal Procedure

Medical Withdrawal Request

If students need to drop or withdraw from courses due to a physical or mental health concern, they should follow the procedure outlined on the Medical Withdrawal Request Form.

The form and documentation are reviewed by the Medical Withdrawal Committee.

The student’s financial aid record is reviewed, and if necessary, a representative from the Office of Financial Support and Scholarships, to determine the ramifications of the schedule change. Students can opt for refund or withdraw from the course (receive W grades).

Items taken into consideration are:

  • If current or future financial aid status will be negatively affected
  • If the student received a refund from a loan and will owe that amount of money back immediately
  • If the injury/illness/death occurs near the end of the term

Notification is sent to the student, Cashiering/Student Accounts, Military and Veteran Services, and the Office of Financial Support and Scholarships, if applicable.

  • Medical Withdrawal Request Checklist


Return Post-Medical Withdrawal Request

Students granted a medical withdrawal must request to return to the university and provide a statement explaining their re-enrollment plan. They must also submit competent and credible documentation from a healthcare provider that they are ready to return. The healthcare provider issuing the supporting documentation must be a licensed provider who has provided treatment or care. The university has a re-enrollment form that should be used by healthcare providers to supply helpful information. The university may require students to meet with a staff member in the Office of Student Life and Wellbeing to discuss their return or be evaluated by a healthcare provider chosen by the university.
