professional will be asked to provide a written evaluation of the student’s current health status, explain the nature of the treatment, and provide recommendations regarding: (a) the student’s readiness to return to the academic and co-curricular demands of university life; (b) the student’s readiness to live in the on-campus residential community; (c) ongoing treatment, academic accommodations, or testing needs; and (d) any conditions or restrictions that the University should impose. The Vice Provost for Student Life or designee may consult with the Director of Health and Counseling Services and any other appropriate University departments. The Vice Provost for Student Life or designee will either initiate the re-enrollment process or deny the student’s request and specify when the next request for re-enrollment will be considered, as well as the conditions that must be met for re-enrollment. Once approved for re-enrollment by the Vice Provost for Student Life or designee, a student may re-enroll without further permission if the student was in good academic standing prior to leaving the University, does not have any outstanding financial obligations with the University, is returning to the same college or school, and is returning within five years of the date of the withdrawal. Students who do not meet these conditions must seek permission to re-enroll from the Dean of Academic Support Services. C. Involuntary Health Withdrawal and Re-enrollment This policy is meant to be invoked only in extraordinary circumstances when a student is unable or unwilling to request a voluntary withdrawal, and such a withdrawal may be necessary to protect the safety of that student and/or others, or the integrity of the University’s learning environment. If a student does not agree to comply with the University’s recommendation to withdraw voluntarily, the following actions will take place:
1. The Vice Provost for Student Life or designee will: • Consult, as may be appropriate and feasible, with representatives from the Office of Student Life, Counseling and Psychological Services, and Cowell Health Center, Residence Life, the Drahmann Advising Center, the student’s professors, and other individuals or departments.
