Types of Medical Withdrawals
Current Medical Withdrawals
This refers to withdrawals for the current semester.
The university offers multiple ways for a student to withdrawal from a class(es). Any student wishing to withdrawal from individual classes can follow the standard withdrawal process found on the Flyer Student Services site, page 23. Any student withdrawing from all classes should utilize the Non-Returning Student Form.
The University of Dayton also offers a Late Withdrawal Process which allows students to request to drop class(es) due to extenuating circumstances after the last date to withdrawal from a class with a "W".
A medical withdrawal may be appropriate if a student cannot continue in their current class(es) or finish their academic requirements. Medical Withdrawals must be related to the student’s current physical and/or mental health. In most cases, a medical withdrawal will be a withdrawal from all courses in which the student is registered.
Please note; a medical withdrawal will appear the same as a non-medical withdrawal on all academic records (transcripts, degree audit, etc).
Retroactive Medical Withdrawals
Retro active medical withdrawals applies to any request made after the last date of class instruction in any given semester. A retroactive medical withdrawal may be appropriate if a student could not continue in their current class(es) or finish their academic requirements.
The deadline to submit a retro active medical withdrawal is one year from the last date of class instruction for the semester of request.
The effective date of any retro active medical withdrawal will always be the last date of class instruction.
