Involuntary Medical Withdrawal

The University may order the involuntary withdrawal of a student if it is determined that the student suffers a condition that is detrimental to the functioning of the student or poses a significant threat to the community.  Examples include, but are not limited conditions that:

  • Causes the student to engage in behavior that poses a significant danger of causing harm to the student or to others or to substantial property rights.
  • Involve a threat to public health.
  • Renders the student unable to engage in basic required activities necessary to obtain an education.
  • Directly and substantially impede the lawful activities of others.
  • Interfere with the educational process and orderly operation of the University.

Questions regarding this policy should be referred to the Director of the Student Counseling Center who also serves as the liaison to the Union Associated Physicians Clinic and also chairs the involuntary medical withdrawal process.
