Voluntary Medical Withdrawal
Why Consider a Voluntary Medical Withdrawal?
The University of Dayton is committed to the success of its students and recognizes there are a variety of reasons why a student may withdraw before completing a course of study, including medical or mental health issues. Determinations regarding any such withdrawal and any expected return to the University are to be tailored to an individual student’s needs and circumstances.
It is important to note that this process is voluntary in nature and the student must be engaged in the process.
