Medical Withdrawal
Students who withdraw from the University due to extreme illness, accident, or national emergency may apply for consideration regarding reimbursement of tuition payments already made for the semester. The student must submit a written request with explanation along with official medical (or other) documentation to the Dean of the School or College in which they are enrolled. The effective date of the student withdrawal must also be provided at this time. At the Dean’s discretion and following verification of the incident, the Dean will notify the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs who will notify the Vice President for Management and Business if any current tuition or applicable Title IV Financial Aid payments for the semester should be refunded to the student. Any payments due to the student from Title IV funds will be determined by using the Federal Financial Aid refund policy. University gift aid and all other non Title IV financial aid will be returned to the source of those funds. Laboratory fees, University fees, housing costs and fees, refunds prior to withdrawal, and any other fees already committed by the University on behalf of the student cannot be refunded. Refunds due to the student as a result of the medical withdrawal must be paid to the student within ten business days after the credit balance is created for the semester for which the medical withdrawal was approved.
Requests for medical withdrawals must be made no later than the last day of classes of the subsequent fall or spring term in the academic calendar. Final notification will be made to the Registrar, Financial Aid, Student Accounts, and the Dean by the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs. The Dean will notify the student.
