Voluntary Medical Withdrawal

Service Overview

Use the forms at right to:

  • Apply for a medical withdrawal from the University
  • Apply to return to the University following a medical withdrawal

We encourage any student who is considering a voluntary medical withdrawal to speak with someone in their Dean's office to determine all of their options before making a final decision.

A withdrawal can be considered a “medical withdrawal” if a student cannot continue in classes or finish academic requirements during a term for reasons related to the student’s physical and/or mental health. In most cases, a medical withdrawal will be a withdrawal from all courses in which the student is registered, though partial withdrawals may be appropriate in some cases.

Note:

  • A request for medical withdrawal is not a guarantee. OLR reviews all information and issues a formal determination via the student’s University email account.
  • The medical withdrawal process does not dismiss/waive any legal, disciplinary, housing, meal plan, or other student responsibilities to the university.

Students can withdraw from individual classes during the semester through the regular withdrawal options outlined on the Flyer Student Services page under Your Classes > Academic Catalog.

Available To

  • Any student at the University of Dayton
