Medical Withdrawal

Requests for medical withdrawal from the College are made to the Vice President and Dean of Students (Student Affairs Office, Bartlett Hall, Rm. 327). For a request to be considered, the following conditions must be satisfied:

  1. The student’s medical condition developed or became more serious during the semester in question.
  2. The medical condition is significant to the point that it is the primary reason the student cannot attend classes and/or complete required work.
  3. The student provides documentation that they are under the care of a licensed physician or licensed mental health professional.

The grade of "W" is recorded for each course affected. Students withdrawing from the College under this policy are subject to the Refund Policy as described in the Catalog.

Requests for medical withdrawal from individual classes are made to the Vice President and Dean of the College (Fayerweather Hall, Rm 309). This action is taken in only extreme cases and is viewed as a "last resort measure." For a request to be considered, the following conditions must be satisfied:

  1. The request is made before the last day of classes (before the examination period) in a given semester.
  2. The student provides evidence that the medical condition has a singular and isolated effect in the individual class to the point that attendance and completion of requirements are not possible.

The grade of “W” is recorded for each course affected.
