A student who is applying for readmission from a Medical Withdrawal is required to submit documentation from his/her treatment providers. The Vice President of Student Life and/or Director of Residential Life will review these in confidence.
We ask that letters detail the length, frequency, focus, and nature of treatment and the student’s level of stability to return to school. Recommendations from treatment providers on what is necessary for ongoing treatment, supports, etc. should be outlined so as to allow Student Life to assess the ability to provide these supports through on-campus student services or off-campus referrals.
It is helpful for the Vice President or Director for Residential Life to receive an honest assessment of the student’s readiness to return to a rigorous and residential (if on campus) academic environment, along with how this assessment was made and the criteria that were used.
Honest impressions are critical in helping us make an informed decision about a student’s readiness to return. After the Vice President/Director reviews the readmission application, they may also want to have a more detailed clinical discussion over the phone with provider(s). Appropriate releases should be signed ahead of time to expedite the process. The application for re-admission along with the paperwork required should be submitted to the Vice President/Director no later than one month prior to the semester the student intends on returning.
