Students who have a medical or another type of personal emergency during the semester and need to withdraw from their courses after week 10 must make an appointment with the Dean of Students. Detailed information about the medical and compassionate withdrawal process, as well as the requirements for returning to the college after such a withdrawal, can be found in the college's Medical/Compassionate Withdrawal Policy (PDF).

Withdrawals after the 10th week are only allowed for medical/compassionate reasons and approved by the Dean of Students. If, after the 10th week, the student leaves the college for other reasons or without obtaining approval from the Dean of Student, the student receives the earned letter grades.

Students must use Semester Withdrawal form (PDF) for voluntary medical or compassionate withdrawals.

Students who do not intend to return the next semester after a semester withdrawal must complete a leave-of-absence form (PDF) and follow leave of absence procedures.

Students who intend to withdraw permanently from the college after a semester withdrawal should complete an Official Withdrawal from the College form (PDF) and follow withdrawal procedures.
