Health Withdrawal Categories A. Health Withdrawal and Re-enrollment A student who has a health condition that temporarily precludes continued enrollment, other than the conditions described in categories B, C, and D, can choose to withdraw from the University. The process of withdrawing for health reasons is the same as that of withdrawing for any other personal reason with the intention of returning to the University. The student is responsible for using standard procedures and for notifying the University in writing when withdrawing and re-enrolling in the University. A student who drops all of his/her courses is not withdrawn from the University. During an academic quarter, a student who takes a health withdrawal, as defined in this section, is subject to the University’s Tuition Refund Policy. B. Conditional Health Withdrawal and Re-enrollment If the student’s health condition substantially threatens the welfare of himself/ herself or others or the student’s behavior significantly disrupts the integrity of the University’s learning environment, the University may recommend professional evaluation and treatment, withdrawal from on-campus housing, and/or withdrawal from the University. Conditions for re-enrolling in the University are established and documented at the time of the withdrawal. If the student does not agree to the recommendation, the University reserves the right to implement such action without the consent of the student. See “Involuntary Health Withdrawal and Re-enrollment.” A conditional health withdrawal may apply to: 1. Students who are deemed to be a danger to themselves or others. Danger to self or others is here defined to include, but are not limited to, any danger of suicide, self-mutilation, accident, or assault, which necessitates unusual measures to monitor, supervise, treat, protect, or restrain the student to ensure his/her safety and the safety of those around him/her. 2. Students whose behavior is severely disruptive to others. Disruptive is here defined to include, but is not limited to, behavior that causes emotional, psychological, or physical distress to students, faculty, or staff beyond what is normally experienced in daily life and/or impacts the integrity of the University’s learning environment. Such disruption may be in the form of a single behavioral incident or somewhat less severe but persistent disruptions over an extended period.
