Medical Leave
A student desiring to withdraw from classes due to
medical reasons and who intends to apply later for reinstatement to the
program will need to provide a letter from a health care provider
documenting the need for medical leave. The letter should be addressed
to the Associate Dean of Academic Programs and Student Affairs. The
student will need to fill out a withdrawal form which can be obtained
from the Dean’s Office. The student will be responsible for removing all
personal items from their assigned locker, mail boxes, and study carrels
within 10 days of the withdrawal. The student will be requested to
communicate regularly with the Associate Dean of Academic Programs prior
to reinstatement and follow the
procedures of reinstatement in the Student/Faculty handbook.
Guidelines for students taking
medical leave to consider upon petitioning for reinstatement.
- Obtain a letter from health care provider (therapist,
licensed psychologist, psychiatrist, physician, disability services, etc.)
stating:
- Diagnosis
- Prognosis
- Written verification that symptoms that led to medical leave have been
alleviated and that if the student is medicated that they present no safety
threat to themselves or others
- Recommendations for accommodations in the classroom, during examination,
during clinical rotations
